This recipe explains how to cook sliced pork belly in a frying pan until crispy and browned. No need to turn on the oven. This quick and easy recipe takes only 30 minutes, and that includes the time required to make the sauce! In this recipe the uncooked pork belly is sliced into thick bites first, and then pan-fried in a frying pan on stove top until the texture is crispy on the outside, and soft on the inside. Pork belly is a very fatty cut of pork, so don’t be surprised at the calorie count below in the recipe box. Make sure to plan a good size side dish, since this recipe doesn’t make much volume-wise, but it’s surely a lot calorie-wise.
What to serve with pork belly Because pork belly is so rich and fatty, serve it with green vegetables, such as oven-baked asparagus, roasted broccoli, roasted brussels sprouts, or sautéed spinach. Or, serve Asian-flavored noodles alongside the pork belly. The only difference between the two is that pork belly is fresh meat, while bacon has been sliced, cured, and smoked. These pork slices don’t have to be perfectly shaped as cubes.
They also don’t have to be small – keep in mind that cubed pork belly will reduce in size considerably, once it’s cooked. Do not add cooking oil when cooking pork belly in the skillet – pork belly is obviously a very fatty cut and it will release its own fat. When pan-frying sliced pork belly, use splatter screen to prevent oil from splattering all over the kitchen. Start cooking sliced pork belly on high heat but watch closely: reduce heat to medium once the skillet gets too hot. Slice pork belly into small cube-like bites.
Add cubed pork belly to a large skillet and start frying on high heat. Constantly move pork belly slices around the pan. Reduce heat from high to medium as the pan gets hot. There shouldn’t be any burnt pieces or burnt pan on the bottom of the skillet. Cook pork belly in 2 batches, if necessary. Remove pan-fried pork belly slices from the cooking pan.
