Spicy Garlic Pork

preparation time: 30 minutes
cooking time: 10 minutes
spicy rating: 7/10
serves: 4

- 500 g (1 lb) belly pork or bacon part of pig or use a leaner cut such as loin

- 2 tbs thick soy sauce
- 2 tsp sugar
- 2 tsp sesame oil
- 3 tsp red chilli oil
- 1 tsp salt
- 2 tsp water
- 8-10 cloves garlic, finely minced 

1. Bring a large pot of water to a rolling boil. Add the whole piece of pork, let water return to boil, reduce heat to a medium simmer, and boil until thoroughly cooked ( about 25 minutes). Remove from heat and set aside to drain and cool. Keep the water simmering.

2. Combine the sauce ingredients and stir well to blend flavor. Set aside

3. Place pork on cutting board. Using a very sharp knife, cut the pork into very thin slices. If the meat has a layer of fat, it should be cut so that each slice has a bit of fat attached.

4. Bring the pot of water back to full boil and gently add the sliced pork to re-heat and further set the texture, then remove immediately to a colander and drain.

5. Arrange the hot sliced pork on a platter, then pour the sauce evenly over the meat. Serve.
