Ingredients

400g pork belly
1 small bunch of bok choy, chopped
1 red capsicum, chopped
good quality vegetable oil for deep frying
1 packet vermicelli rice noodles
30g butter
½ bunch coriander, chopped
1 knob ginger, chopped
3 kaffir lime leaves
200g palm sugar
50ml fish sauce

Preparation

Steam pork until just cooked through and then slice into 1 cm thick pieces and put aside.

Add chopped ginger and finely sliced kaffir lime leaves to a pot with palm sugar and fish sauce. Bring to the boil then reduce to simmer for 3 minutes until nice glaze consistency.

Heat oil until nearly smoking. Put rice noodles in for 3 seconds and they will puff up. Take out and place on paper to drain oil.

Put pork into hot oil, fry until crispy. In a pan, sauté bok choy and capsicum with butter. Add pork, then glaze, and sauté for another minute.

Place rice noodles on plate, top with glazed pork, drizzle remaining glaze over the top and sprinkle with coriander.

Hot Tips

Peeling and de-seeding capsicum

Place peppers under a hot grill, turning from time to time until they are scorched and blackened all over. Place the hot peppers in a plastic bag, seal and leave for 20 minutes. Peel, and pull out the core (it will come away quite easily taking most of the seeds with it).

Glossary

Florets

Florets are the small, individual flower stems that make up the heads of vegetables such as broccoli and cauliflower.
