Welcome in the first new moon of the New Year with recipes inspired by traditional festival feasts. Symbolising strength and good fortune, pork is often enjoyed in Lunar New Year celebrations. Here, hoisin brings sweetness and depth of flavour to the pork, and a side of pickled cucumber cuts through those flavours.

Produced in a facility that processes eggs, milk, fish, peanuts, sesame, shellfish, soy, tree nuts, and wheat.

Instructions

Roast the Pork Belly

1

a) Preheat your oven to 220°C/200°C fan/gas mark 7.

b) Remove the pork belly from the packaging. Place in an ovenproof dish. Drizzle with oil and season with salt and pepper.

c) When the oven is hot, roast on the middle shelf until piping hot and golden, 25-30 mins. IMPORTANT: Ensure the pork is piping hot throughout.

Pickle the Cucumber

2

a) Meanwhile, combine in a medium bowl the rice vinegar with the sugar (see pantry for amount). Season with salt and pepper.

b) Trim the cucumber and slice into rounds, as thinly as you can.

c) Toss the cucumber in the dressing and set aside.

d) Trim and thinly slice the spring onion.

Finish the Pork and Serve

3

a) Once the pork belly is piping hot and golden, remove it from the oven. Drizzle over the hoisin sauce and use the back of a spoon to evenly spread it over. Sprinkle over the sesame seeds. Pop back in the oven until sticky, 5-6 mins.

b) Once sticky, remove your pork belly from the oven and carefully slice into thin slices. Transfer to a serving platter.

c) Serve your pickled cucumber alongside.

d) Finish by sprinkling over the spring onion.

Enjoy!
