Directions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (160°C for fan assisted). Lay the pork belly skin side up and score the skin with a sharp knife to help it crisp up.
Rub salt and pepper into the skin and place the pork belly on a baking tray. Roast for 1 hour until the skin is crisp.
While the pork is roasting, heat oil in a wok or large frying pan over medium heat. Add garlic and ginger, and fry for a minute until fragrant.
Add the black beans to the wok and stir-fry for another minute. Then pour in the Shaoxing wine or sherry.
Add the oyster sauce, sugar, and chicken stock to the wok. Simmer for a few minutes until the sauce thickens.
When the pork belly is ready, slice it into bite-sized pieces and stir into the black bean sauce. Cook for a few more minutes to let the pork absorb the sauce.
Garnish with spring onions before serving. Enjoy!
