  2. 2

    Add sesame oil. Mix with vegetables and onion, leave to stand for about 1 hour.

  3. 3

    For the pork belly, preheat the oven (electric oven: 200 °C/circulating air: 175 °C/gas: see manufacturer). Wash the meat and pat dry. Prick the rind with a meat fork close together. Rub with salt.

    Cut into 2-3 strips (approx. 6-7 cm each). Mix 1 teaspoon salt, 1 tablespoon brown sugar, 5-spice powder, hoisin sauce and 1 tablespoon soy sauce. Coat the meat sides of the pork belly (not the rind) with the marinade.

    Switch on the grill in the oven and roast the pork belly rind for 2-3 minutes until crispy (be careful - it can burn quickly!). Remove the pork belly and let it rest for a short time.
