Pan-fried Pork Belly

This is what I came up with for our lunch today - pan-fried pork belly, yum!

After lunch, we shared a bowl of tomato and rose wine sorbet.

wacamama, Rosa's Yummy Yums - Thanks! ;-)

MrsLavendula - LOL!

Michelle Chin - Give it a try, and let me know how it goes! :-)

Edith - The pork belly slices do have lots of fats. But I think the fats were not visible in the picture because it's masked by the dark sauce.

myFudo - Thanks for dropping by!

Anonymous - Sake can be replaced with rice wine or shaoxing wine.

Elin - It's delicious indeed, do give the recipe a try!

Daphne - Yes, it's sinfully yummy! ;-)
