with Japanese Dressing
- Gluten
- Soy
- Wheat

This slow-cooked pork belly deserves a salad that is as delicious as it is, so We've taken some staple veggies (carrot and pumpkin) and added a sprinkling of Asian BBQ seasoning to really take things to the next level. Fancy it up even further teaming the veg with our super deluxe salad mix and Japanese style dressing.

Cooking Steps
• Boil the kettle. Preheat oven to 240ºC/220ºC fan-forced.
• Cut carrot and pumpkin into bite-sized chunks.
• Place carrot and pumpkin on a lined oven tray.
• Drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with Asian BBQ seasoning, season with salt
and toss to coat.
• Roast until tender, 20-25 minutes.
TIP: Peel the pumpkin if you prefer and scrape out the seeds, if necessary!
• Meanwhile, place slow-cooked pork belly in a large heatproof bowl and
cover with boiling water. Using tongs, remove pork carefully and pat dry
using a 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 second lined oven tray. Roast until
lightly browned, 15-20 minutes.
• When veggies are done, remove from oven and allow to cool slightly. Flip
pork skin-side up. Heat grill to high. Grill pork until skin is golden and crispy,
15-25 minutes.
TIP: Keep an eye on the pork when grilling, it can burn fast!
• When pork is done, in a large bowl, combine deluxe salad mix, mixed salad
leaves, roast veggies, a drizzle of vinegar and Japanese-style dressing.
• Slice pork belly.
• Divide pumpkin salad between bowls. Top with pork belly to serve. Enjoy!
