For those who love pork dishes, this time I'd like to share a recipe for pork belly cooked carefully with Coca-Cola until tender.

Ingredients

  • 2.5 lbs pork belly (cut into medium-sized chunks)
  • 10 tablespoons vinegar
  • 3 tablespoons fish sauce
  • 5 cloves garlic (crushed with a knife and thinly sliced)
  • 24 tablespoons Coca-Cola

  • 2 teaspoons whole peppercorns
  • 4 bay leaves
  • A little salt and water

Step-by-step instructions

1. Heat the pan/pot and add the pork chunks, then cook until the pork turns brown. You'll notice the pork fat starting to render out.

2. Push the pork pieces to one side of the pot. Add the garlic and ginger, and sauté in the oil for about 30 seconds. Then mix the pork and garlic together evenly and cook for about 1 minute.

3. Add the fish sauce and vinegar, and let it simmer for about 2 minutes until it comes to a boil. Stir occasionally.

4. Add the peppercorns and bay leaves. After adding the Coca-Cola, cover the pot with a lid and simmer on low heat. Add a little more water if needed.

5. Let it simmer until the pork becomes tender. Add a little more salt if needed.

Once the pork is tender, you'll have a delicious pork belly dish ready to serve.
