Pork Belly

Pork belly is exactly as it sounds; this cut of meat come from the belly of the pig. It is flavorful, tender, succulent, and super fatty, and absolutely divine with a crispy skin. The same cut as bacon but without being cured, pork belly is popular in many Asian and Hispanic cuisines. Cut into hunks, fry, and serve on bao with slaw and pickles; dice and use as the fatty base for a sauce; slice thin and cook in a hot pot or noodle soup.
