How to Make Savory Pork Belly with Pickled Mustard Greens and Silken Tofu

1. Prepare Pork Belly

Lay your pork belly on a cutting board and slice it as thinly as possible across the grain. Then, cut those slices into 2-inch lengths.

2. Cook Onion

Heat a large wok or a wide heavy pot over medium heat, then add the peanut oil. Toss in the sliced onion and cook until it becomes translucent and soft, about 5 minutes.

3. Cook Pork Belly

Turn the heat up to medium-high and add the pork belly to the pot. Cook the pork, turning and pressing it against the hot surface for about 4 to 6 minutes until the pork changes color and begins to release its fat.

4. Add Mustard Greens

Once the pork is cooked, toss in the sliced mustard greens and stir well. Let them cook for several minutes, stirring occasionally.

5. Add Tofu and Season

Gently add the tofu slices and sprinkle in the salt, stirring carefully to mix without breaking the tofu.

6. Simmer

Pour in about ½ cup of water, cover the pot, and let everything simmer for 3 to 5 minutes.

7. Add Coriander Leaves

Stir in the fresh coriander leaves, remove the pot from the heat, and serve the dish hot.
