Instructions

1 Score the pieces of pork belly with a sharp knife on the diagonal and rub with a
little olive oil and lots of salt. You can use a fresh blade of a stanley knife
that works wonders and controls how deep your cuts are. You could add in some
extra spices to the rub if you wanted (Chines five spice would have been good
but I didn’t have any). Place on a wire rack on a roasting tray and place into a
hot oven 220 fan forced for 20 mins to get that crackle started. The turn down
to 150 degrees for a further 1.5 hours. It doesn’t matter how long you cook it
for – the longer and slower the better to let all that fat render out. I crank
up again at the end for 10 mins or so to let that crackle get REALLY good and
set aside to rest for 15 mins or so. Once it has cooled cut into 2-3cm thick
pieces and serve on a platter
2 Boil your kettle and place the vermicelli noodles into a bowl and pour water
over until cover and let it sit for a few minutes then drain and rinse in cold
water
3 Grab a big bowl or platter and throw in the mixed salad bag, the cucumbers that
you have chopped in a diagonal pattern into chunks, the ripped mint leaves,
finely chopped corainder and then the nuts that you have whacked between a
folded piece of baking paper (save a handful aside to top the salad at the end),
or teatowel – however you like to do this! Add in the cooled noodles.
4 Mix together all your dressing ingredients together in a bowl and add in some
finely chopped spring onions/shallots and pour over the salad. Mix with your
hands and top with extra mint leaves and some nuts you have kept aside
5 Serve to table with the pork belly on another platter and some chopped chilli
for those that like some extra kick – I would add into the salad dressing if the
kids weren’t eating it. I served a big amount of salad and placed a few pieces
of pork belly and crackle on top.
