INGREDIENTS
2 oz Pork Belly (56g)
4 large Egg Whites (approx. 120g)
100g Extra-Firm Tofu
1/2 cup Edamame (75g)
3 cloves Garlic
1 tsp Fresh Ginger
1 tbsp Low Sodium Soy Sauce
2 tbsp chopped Scallions
1 tsp Sesame Oil
PREPARATION
Start by scoring the skin of the pork belly lightly and patting it dry with paper towels.
Heat a non-stick pan over medium-high heat. Place the pork belly skin-side down to crisp up for 3-4 minutes until golden and crispy. Remove and set aside.
In the same pan, add the minced garlic and grated ginger and sauté briefly until fragrant.
Deglaze the pan with the low sodium soy sauce, stirring to release the pork fond.
Return the pork belly to the pan and allow it to braise in the garlic-soy mixture for an additional 3-4 minutes, ensuring it gets evenly coated with the sauce.
While the pork simmers, gently poach the egg whites in a separate pan or microwave until just set.
Cube the extra-firm tofu and add it along with the edamame to the pan, warming them through in the braising liquid to absorb the flavors.
Finish the dish by drizzling sesame oil and sprinkling chopped scallions on top.
Plate the ingredients carefully, arranging the crispy pork belly pieces next to the tofu and edamame mixture with the tender egg whites as a garnish.
