Sautéed Pork Belly with Cauliflower

written by Emma Tang

Sautéed Pork Belly with CauliflowerSautéed pork belly with cauliflower is a popular dish frequently ordered at restaurants in China. With this recipe, you can easily recreate this tasty dish at home. Aside from roasting, if you are looking for new ways to serve cauliflower, this will be a great recipe to add to your collection.

If you ask me what’s my favorite cuts of pork? My answer is 100% pork belly! This flavorful cut of fatty meat is loved by foodies around the world.

Not only is pork belly delicious, it’s also very affordable and versatile. A pound of pork belly usually sells for less than 3 dollars in Asian markets, and you can use them to make a variety of tasty dishes. From pork belly stir-fries to tender braised pork belly, you name it.

pork-belly-with-cauliflower-ingredientsLet me start by introducing the ingredients. The main ingredients are sliced pork belly and cauliflower cut into bite-sized florets. You’ll also need red pepper, garlic, green onion and ginger for flavor and texture. 

When cooked, garlic, ginger and green onion will release wonderful aroma and refreshing spicy flavor into the dish,  they are the secret to making a great sautéed dish.

Simmered Pork Belly with CauliflowerWhen the dish is complete, the cauliflower should be tender enough to pierce with a fork. To do that, I’d start with sautéing the cauliflower under high heat for a few minutes to develop some nice char on the outside first. 

Then cover the pan with a lid to simmer for about 2 minutes under medium heat for it to soften. By now, the cauliflower should be 80% cooked through.
