Looking for the best way to cook pork belly slices?
I am not a big meat-eater, but I don’t think I can ever say no to a dish of crispy pork belly.
Seriously. Just look at it.
You can almost smell the bacony sizzle and taste the crunchy pork.
I make this a lot for people and I haven’t met one who didn’t oohed and ahhed over this.
If you are looking for a simple dish that will impress a meat-lover, then I recommend you make this.
A lot.
