My twice cooked pork recipe walks you through all the ingredients and steps to recreate the authentic tasting dish just like you’d get at a restaurant. Crispy pork belly tossed in a rich spicy savory sauce with scallion and chili pepper: a scrumptious dish that’s rich and balanced. It’s easy enough to cook on a weeknight yet festive enough to serve for a dinner party.
