Step-by-Step Guide to Making Delicious Braised Pork Belly with Dried Shrimp

Ingredients

- 250g pork belly

- 50g dried shrimp

- 3 tablespoons fish sauce

- 2 tablespoons sugar

- Spices: Shallots, dried garlic, chili, black pepper, etc.

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Ingredients

- Rinse the pork belly thoroughly and cut into small pieces about 1cm thick or dice it. Soak the dried shrimp in warm water for about 20 minutes until soft, then drain and set aside.

- Peel and finely chop the dried shallots and garlic. Slice the chili peppers finely or leave them whole, depending on your preference. Crush the black pepper.

Step 2: Cooking the Dipping Sauce

- Put the pork belly into a pan with a little cooking oil, stir-fry over low heat until the pork is cooked and golden. Then, transfer the pork to a bowl and set aside.

- Remove some excess oil from the pan, leaving about 3-4 tablespoons. Add the chopped shallots and garlic to the pan, stir-fry until fragrant and golden brown. Then, add the soaked dried shrimp and stir-fry until crispy.

During cooking, adjust the fish sauce and seasoning to taste. Once cooked, turn off the heat, sprinkle some chopped spring onions on top.

- Prepare another clay pot, transfer all the stir-fried shrimp and pork belly into it. Then, mix the fish sauce with sugar (dissolve the sugar in water before adding it to the fish sauce to prevent it from clumping) and pour it into the clay pot.

- Lastly, add finely chopped black pepper and chili, simmer over low heat until the mixture thickens, then turn off the heat.

Dipping sauce made from pork belly is best served with steamed vegetables and white rice. If there are leftovers, refrigerate and reheat before serving again. This simple yet flavorful pork belly dip recipe is sure to please the whole family. Moms, keep this recipe handy to treat your family to a delicious and enticing meal!
