Szechuan Pork Belly with Rice Cakes step by step

1. Finely chop or mince the garlic and ginger.

4. Add the pork belly and cook for a minute.
5. Add the light soy, pepper and the vinegar.

7. Add the prickly oil and dark soy and cook for another 30 seconds.
8. Add the rice cakes to the wok and mix thoroughly.
9. Add the cornflour and sugar and quickly combine.
10. Almost cover with hot water and allow to reduce on the highest heat to desired consistency - by which time the rice cakes should be cooked.
11. If the water is taking a while to reduce it can be beneficial to remove the vegetables and meat with a slotted spoon so as not to over cook.
12. When the liquid is roughly like the picture it is time to add the meat and veg back and combine before adding chopped spring onions and serving.
13. Serve. In a bowl. Eat..
