　　Supreme Braised Pork Belly

　　Ingredients: pork belly, shiitake mushrooms, garlic, dark soy sauce, rock sugar, dried green beans, Lee Kum Kee Spicy Fermented Black Bean Sauce

　　Method:

　　1. Clean the fresh pork belly, blanch it, then cut into chunks

　　2. Caramelize the sugar: Heat the pan, add oil, then add the rock sugar. Once melted and bubbly, add the pork chunks and stir-fry until golden brown on all sides

　　3. Remove the pork, and using the remaining oil, sauté the garlic and ginger. Add two large spoonfuls of fermented black bean sauce and stir until fragrant. Pour in two bowls of boiling water to make the broth

　　4. Once the broth is ready, pour it into the pot with the pork. Top with washed dried green beans and shiitake mushrooms (dried vegetables help absorb oil). Braise over medium heat for 30 minutes, then reduce to low heat and simmer for about 1 hour until the sauce thickens. Sprinkle with chopped scallions before serving (the pork skin should be tender and the meat melt-in-your-mouth)
