Roast pork belly
燒腩
Crisp-skinned roast pork belly chopped at the BBQ shop, eaten as it is or dropped into a pot: with bean curd sticks, with tofu, with gai lan. Chinese BBQ shops in Australia's Chinatowns and Chinese suburbs sell it by weight and ask whether you want it chopped.
Preparation
Chop and add for the last fifteen minutes of a braise.
