Method
Pork Belly
1
Score the pork belly skin in a crosshatch pattern. Rub the five spice powder exclusively on the meat side. Generously pack the coarse sea salt onto the skin side.
2
Roast in an oven at 200C for 45 minutes until the meat is cooked through, then crank the heat to 240C for 15 minutes to blister and crisp the skin. Remove, discard excess salt, and slice into 1-inch bite-sized cubes.
Hot Mustard Sauce
3
In a small bowl, whisk the Chinese hot mustard powder with warm water and let sit for 5 minutes to activate the heat. Whisk in the melted ghee and apple cider vinegar until a smooth, pungent emulsion forms.
Sear and Plate
4
Melt lard in a hot skillet. Flash-fry the pre-cooked pork belly cubes for 2 minutes to get all edges ultra-crispy. Toss the hot, crispy pork cubes immediately in the hot mustard ghee, transfer to a serving boat, and serve with toothpicks.
