Sweet sticky pork belly with crispy skin is a finger-licking start to the week.
- Preheat oven to 160°C. Combine all ingredients, except pork, with 2 cups water in a casserole dish. Slowly bring to the boil over low-medium heat. Add pork then cover with a lid and cook in oven for 2 1/2 hours or until very tender. Remove pork from liquid and discard all but 1/3 cup liquid, then refrigerate pork until cooled.
- Meanwhile, for sauce, place sugar and 1 tablespoon water in a heavy-based saucepan and cook over low heat, without stirring, until sugar dissolves and caramelises. Gradually stir in reserved cooking liquid. Add fish sauce, vinegar and chilli and simmer for 1 minute.
- Preheat grill to high. Cut pork into 2cm-thick slices and place slices flat on a lightly greased oven tray. Grill for 5 minutes or until meat is golden and skin crisp. Serve pork with caramel sauce, extra coriander, gai larn and rice.
