Pork Belly with Garlic Purée
The dish we're learning today is a garlic lover's boon, it's a dish full of garlic flavor. Because the boiled pork is white in color, the literal name of this dish is: “Garlic Purée White Pork.” The pork is cooked and then left to cool to room temperature before cutting. This is a common cooking process when making dishes that are served cold. The raw materials are cooked and then cut and finally seasoned with a sauce to complete the cold dish.

Notes
- When slicing pork belly, slice as thinly as you can.
- Add garlic to your liking.
- We use mild chili oil, if you like it spicy, you can choose something spicier instead.
- Test the pork to see if it is done by inserting the blunt end of a chopstick into the meat. When it is tender, the chopstick will penetrate easily. If the liquid comes out pink, the inside is still not cooked. When the liquid is clear, the pork is fully cooked.
