Ingredients

  • 500 g pork belly, placed in the freezer for 1-2 hours or until just firm
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil
  • salt, to season
  • 6 thick spring onions, finely shredded
  • ½ tsp toasted sesame seeds
  • lemon wedges, to serve

You will need to place the pork in the freezer 1-2 hours before you begin to cook.

Instructions

  1. Remove the skin from the pork belly, then slice across the grain into 1 cm–thick strips, then into 3 cm-wide pieces.
  2. Heat a wok over high heat and add half the oil. Cook the pork belly in batches by placing the pieces into the wok in a single layer so that they brown well on both sides. Season well with salt.
  3. Add the spring onions and toss until the spring onions are just wilted. Transfer to a plate and sprinkle with sesame seeds. Serve with lemon wedges.
