Detailed recipeQuick recipe

Ingredients needed 🛒3 servings

1.5kg Whole pork belly
Carrot, to taste
1 Leek
3-4 Shallots
3 Tomatoes
1 bottle (600g) Store-bought tomato sauce
1/2 can Baked beans
Short pasta (e.g., rigatoni), to taste
Scallions, to taste
1 bottle Water (to rinse sauce bottle)

Recipe 🍳

Cut the whole pork belly into large, bite-sized pieces, about 3cm thick, considering shrinkage during cooking.
Place the pork belly, fat-side down, in a dry pan over medium-low heat. Slowly render the fat until all sides are browned, then remove the pork. (If there is too much rendered fat, drain some of it.)
In the same pan with the pork fat, add the carrots first and sauté. Then add the halved shallots and large-chunked leeks, sautéing until browned to enhance their aroma.
Add the 3 large-cut tomatoes and increase heat to high. Cook with the vegetables until the moisture evaporates.
Return the browned pork belly to the pan. Add the store-bought tomato sauce (600g), 1 bottle of water (used to rinse the sauce bottle), and baked beans. Mix well.
Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer gently for 30 minutes.
Once the flavors of the ingredients have deeply infused the broth, add your preferred short pasta (like rigatoni) directly into the stew and cook for another 10 minutes until the pasta is done.
When the pasta is cooked to your liking, serve generously in bowls and garnish with finely chopped scallions to finish.

Cut the whole pork belly into thick, 3cm pieces.
In a dry pan over medium-low heat, render the fat from the pork belly, then remove the meat.
In the remaining pork fat, sauté carrots, then shallots and leeks until browned, followed by tomatoes.
Return the pork belly to the pan, add tomato sauce, 1 bottle of water, and baked beans.
Simmer covered over low heat for 30 minutes.
Add short pasta and cook for another 10 minutes, then garnish with scallions to finish.

Cooking tips 💡

For pork belly with thick fat layers, use medium-low heat instead of high heat to gently render the fat without burning it. This ensures enough flavorful oil is produced to sauté the vegetables deliciously.
Cutting the stew ingredients into very large pieces ensures they maintain a pleasant texture even after long simmering, truly capturing the essence of a hearty home-style meal.
