  • 1 pear or apple
  • 2 tbsp sesame oil
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp sugar
  • 2 tbsp mirin
  • 2 tsp salt
  • 1 white onion
  • 3-4 cloves of garlic

Corn tortilla

  • 250g masa harina
  • 340ml hot water
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil (or lard, or neutral tasting oil)
  • 2 tsp salt

Quick pickle

  • 1 small red onion

  • 3 tbsp hot water

Garnishes

  • 1 spring onion, thinly sliced to garnish

Method

Place all marinade ingredients into a blender and pour over the pork belly. Leave to marinate for at least 2-3 hours, or overnight in the fridge for best results.
