Cooking Steps

Roast the pork belly
1

• Boil the kettle. Preheat oven to 240ºC/220ºC fan-forced. Place slow-cooked pork belly in a large heaptroof bowl and cover with boiling water. Using tongs, remove pork carefully and pat dry using paper towel (this step helps the crackling get crispy!) • Using a sharp knife, score the skin in 1cm intervals, without cutting into the flesh. Rub all over with a generous pinch of salt. • Place pork pieces, skin-side down, on a lined oven tray. Roast until lightly browned, 15-20 minutes. • Flip pork skin-side up. Heat grill to high. Grill pork until skin is crackling (golden and crispy), 15-25 minutes. TIP: Keep an eye on the pork when grilling, it can burn fast!

Cook the noodles & get prepped
2

• Meanwhile, thinly slice carrot into half-moons. Halve trimmed green beans. Half-fill a medium saucepan with the boiling water. • Cook egg noodles over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally with a fork to separate, until tender, 4-5 minutes. • Drain, rinse and return to saucepan with a drizzle of olive oil. • In a small bowl, combine umami paste, sweet chilli sauce, the soy sauce, vinegar and water.

Bring it all together
3

• When pork belly has 10 minutes remaining, in a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over high heat. • Add diced bacon, trimmed green beans and carrot and cook, breaking up with a spoon, until golden, 4-6 minutes. • Add Asian BBQ seasoning and cook until fragrant, 1 minute. • Remove pan from heat and add cooked egg noodles, baby spinach leaves and umami mixture, tossing, until well combined. TIP: Add a splash of water if the noodles looks dry.

Finish & serve

• Slice pork belly. • Divide umami egg noodles with bacon between bowls. Top with roast pork belly to serve. Enjoy!
