Cooking Time: 1 hours, 30 minutes

Tools You’ll Need:
12″ frying pan or skillet (preferrably non-stick)
Kitchen tong
Cooking pot
Knife
Cutting board

Ingredients:

2 lbs. pork belly, cut into 1 1/2-inch squares
1 pack dried banana blossoms
¼ cup salted black beans (tausi), drained
½ cup soy sauce
1/4 cup distilled white vinegar
½ cup brown sugar
6 garlic cloves, minced
2 dry bay leaves
1 teaspoon whole peppercorns
4 cups water

Procedure:
1. Rinse meat thoroughly under cold running water and pat dry with paper towels.

2. In a non-stick skillet over medium heat, arrange pork belly slices in one layer and pan-fry until most of the oil comes out. If you use a smaller pan, you may do this in two batches.

3. Once the meat turns brown and most of the fat has rendered, remove from heat and transfer to a cooking pot.

4. Add the rest of the ingredients into the pot and bring to a boil. Lower heat to medium low and simmer for an hour until pork has become tender and sauce has thickened

5. Serve with rice
