INGREDIENTS
2 oz Pork Belly (approx 57g)
5 oz Extra-Firm Tofu (approx 140g)
1 Egg
1/4 cup Shelled Edamame
1/2 cup Bok Choy, chopped
2 cloves Garlic
1 tsp Fresh Ginger
1 tbsp Soy Sauce
1 tsp Honey
1 tsp Rice Vinegar
1 tsp Sesame Oil
Pinch Red Chili Flakes
2 tbsp Fresh Cilantro
2 tbsp Fresh Basil
2 tbsp Scallions
PREPARATION
Prepare the glaze by mincing the garlic and fresh ginger. In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, and sesame oil. Add chili flakes to taste.
Score the pork belly lightly and pat dry. In a hot skillet over medium-high heat, place the 2 oz portion of pork belly, skin side down, and sear until it becomes crispy. Once crispy, transfer to a cutting board and slice into bite-sized pieces.
Press the extra-firm tofu to remove excess moisture, then cut into cubes. In a separate nonstick skillet, lightly sauté tofu cubes over medium heat until they are golden on the edges.
Add the bok choy and shelled edamame to the tofu, gently stirring to warm through. Drizzle a small amount of the prepared glaze over the mixture to infuse flavor.
In a small pot, poach the egg until the white is set but the yolk remains runny.
Plate the sautéed tofu, bok choy, and edamame as a base. Arrange the crispy pork belly slices on top and place the poached egg in the center.
Finish by drizzling the remaining glaze over the entire dish and garnish with fresh cilantro, basil, and sliced scallions.
Serve immediately and enjoy the blend of crispy, savory pork with fresh, vibrant accompaniments.
