3

Sprinkle salt on both sides of the meat, then prepare the ingredients to be cooked with the pork belly.

Add the ingredients in order, add olive oil, and stir-fry once.

9

Strain the remaining sauce in the pot, add 1 tbsp each of lemon juice, mustard, and honey, and reduce until thick to make the sauce.

10

The well-roasted skin should be very crispy; cut off the skinless ends to taste, and cut the center to check the inside.

11

Cut the meat into bite-sized pieces and prepare for plating.

12

Arrange the blanched asparagus, frozen rat beans, and homemade cherry pickles made with lemon, white wine, and herbs.

13

Place the meat on top and pour over the reduced sauce to finish.
