Note

Directions

Step 1	Pre-heat oven to 2225C/450F/Gas mark 7.
Step 2	Make the sauce by whizzing all the ingredients together in a blended, or by adding the to a jam jar and shaking them well, so they all amalgamate.
Step 3	Wipe and dry the pork belly slices/strips and the lay them in an oven-proof dish. Spoon the sauce over them to coat and turn the slices over so they are coated on both sides.
Step 4	Cook in the pre-heated oven for 45 minutes, turning them around in the sauce regularly, or until they are cooked, crispy and are slightly charred around the edges - the fat should be crispy too.
Step 5	Serve immediately with the sauce spooned over them; serve with baked potatoes and coleslaw.
