Instructions

1
1

• Boil the kettle. Preheat oven to 240ºC/220ºC fan-forced. • Place slow-cooked pork belly in a large heatproof 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.

• While the pork is roasting, cut corn cob in half. Place corn on a second lined oven tray. • Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and toss to coat. Roast until tender and slightly charred, 15-20 minutes. Remove from the oven, set aside and cover to keep warm.

• When the corn has been removed from the oven, heat grill to high. • Flip pork skin-side up and 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!

• Slice cucumber into thin sticks. Thinly slice spring onion and long chilli (if using). • In a small bowl, combine butter and spring onion. Season with salt and pepper. Set aside. • In a small microwave safe bowl, combine hoisin sauce, the vinegar and brown sugar. • When the pork has 5 minutes remaining, microwave hoisin sauce mixture, in 30 second bursts, until warmed through. • In a large bowl, combine cucumber, mixed salad leaves and sesame dressing. Season to taste.

• Place bao buns on a plate with a small splash of water (just a small splash so they stay fluffy!). • Cover with cling wrap or a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on high for 1 minute. Set aside for 1 minute.

• Slice pork. • Uncover, then gently halve the buns, and spread with hoisin sauce. Fill with roast pork belly, some cucumber salad and fresh chilli (if using). • Spread corn with spring onion butter. Bring everything to the table to serve. • Serve baos with corn cob and the remaining cucumber salad. Enjoy!
