Pork belly stew- Chinese recipe?

My partner is coming home late tonight and has been working very late the last few months and has lost a lot of weight. He is Chinese, and loves pork belly roasted, but I would love to try some kind of Chinese style stew recipe. I thought it would be a nice dinner for him, especially as it could help him regain weight. (Our diets are pretty healthy normally, but his stress and lack of routine has caused his weightloss!) Any ideas guys? Much appreciated! Mel from London xPork belly stew- Chinese recipe?

Streaky pork with mandarin sauce recipe



500 g (1 lb) lean belly of pork rashers, rind, bones and excess fat removed, and cut in half across

1 tablespoon vegetable oil

1 large onion, sliced

300 g (11 oz) can mandarin orange segments, drained with juice reserved

about 150 ml (1/4 pint) chicken stock

1/4 teaspoon ground ginger

1 tablespoon lemon juice or vinegar

1 green pepper, deseeded and chopped

salt and freshly ground black pepper

1 tablespoon cornflour

2 tablespoons water



1. Heat the oil in a large frying-pan. Add the pork and fry over moderate heat for 5 minutes turning, until brown on both sides.



2. Add the onion to the pan and fry for a further 5 minutes until the onion is soft. Pour off excess fat from the pan.



3. Make up the reserved fruit juice to 300 ml (1/2 pint) with the chicken stock and pour into the pan. Add the ginger, lemon juice and green pepper and season to taste with salt and pepper. Bring to the boil, then lower the heat, cover, and simmer for 30-40 minutes until the pork is cooked (the juices run clear when the meat is pierced with a skewer).



4. Remove from the heat. Blend the cornflour with the water, then stir in a little of the liquid from the pan. Pour back into the pan and bring to the boil, stirring constantly, then simmer for 3 minutes until the liquid is thick and has a smooth consistency. Add the mandarin orange segments and stir carefully to coat in sauce.



5. Turn into a warmed serving dish and serve at once.
