Preparation

Cooking the pork belly
180 minutes
- Combine the Shaoxing wine, light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, brown sugar, vegetable oil, Chinese 5-spice powder, garlic powder and ginger in a medium-sized mixing bowl. Add the pork to the bowl and let it marinate in the fridge for 6 hours or overnight.
- In a large pot, heat the prepared Knorr® Professional Ultimate Beef Bouillon Base and add the sliced onion, marinated pork, and the marinade. Simmer the mixture until pork is tender, about 2 hours. Add water if needed.
- Remove the pork from the pot and strain the braising liquid to remove any lumps. Transfer about 3 Tbsp of the liquid to a frying pan over medium-high heat and let it reduce slightly. Add the pork to the pan and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, until the sauce has caramelized slightly onto the pork. Take the pork out of the pan and set it aside.
Assembling the bao buns
5 minutes
- Steam bao buns until soft, about 4-5 minutes.
- Fill the buns with shredded pork and top with carrot, daikon, cucumber, and cilantro. You may serve with hoisin sauce if desired.
