Chinese pork belly

The idea for this was to make a snack, inspired by Chinese style spare ribs, where the pork belly was flavoured with a marinade and oven cooked.

Ingredients:

3 strips of pork belly (reduced from £1.04 to 45p)

For the marinade:

Soy sauce

Half a red chilli, finely chopped

Clove of garlic, finely chopped

Ginger (I used a tsp from a jar of ready mulched ginger)

Brown sugar (sprinkle a couple of tsps)

Lemon juice

Spoon the marinade over the pork belly and leave for a few hours or overnight.

I cooked the pork belly dry, so took it out of the marinade and put the strips onto a cast iron skillet.

Cook at about 180 for approx 25 minutes.  A delicious spicy 'rib style' snack!

Total cost: 45p (everything else was 'store cupboard')
