Crispy Pork Belly With Sriracha Food

CRISPY PORK CHOPS WITH SRIRACHA BRUSSELS SPROUTS

Steps:

• Put a baking sheet on the middle oven rack and preheat to 450 degrees F. Toss the Brussels sprouts and red onion in a large bowl with 1 tablespoon vegetable oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Spread on the hot baking sheet in a single layer and roast, without stirring, until tender and charred in spots, 20 to 25 minutes.
• Meanwhile, whisk the vinegar, honey, Sriracha and a pinch of salt in a large bowl. Set aside.
• Season the pork chops with salt and pepper and brush the mustard on both sides. Toss the panko with 1 tablespoon parsley, a pinch of salt and a few grinds of pepper on a plate. Press both sides of the pork chops in the mixture to evenly coat. Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the pork chops and cook until browned and cooked through, 4 to 5 minutes per side. (Reduce the heat to medium if the crust gets too dark.)
• Add the roasted vegetables to the honey-Sriracha sauce and toss to coat. Serve with the pork chops. Sprinkle with the remaining 1 tablespoon parsley.

CRISPY PORK BELLY WITH SRIRACHA

Steps:

• Mix together the five-spice, garlic, 1 tbsp of the sriracha and 3 tbsp of the soy sauce. Rub really well into the meat, but not the skin, and leave to marinate for a few hours or overnight.
• When ready to cook, heat the oven to 180C/fan 160C/gas 4. Sit the pork skin-side up on a wire rack in a roasting tin and roast for 2 hours 30 minutes.
• While the pork is roasting, put the remaining 2 tbsp sriracha, 2 tbsp soy sauce and honey in a small saucepan together and bubble for a few minutes until syrupy.
• Remove the pork from the oven and cool for 15 minutes while you turn the oven up to 220C/fan 200C/gas 7. Then, using tongs and a sharp knife, cut the crackling away from the pork. Score the exposed fat and sit in another tin. Sprinkle sea salt over the crackling and put back on the wire rack. Roast the meat and crackling alongside each other for 30 minutes, brushing the pork fat with some of the glaze for the final 5 minutes, until the pork is really charred and sticky, and the crackling brown and really crisp. Smash the crackling into pieces and eat with thinly sliced or shredded pork and the remaining glaze.
