In this recipe the Pork Belly is first deep fried and afterwards cooked in a rich Tea sauce. To die for.
It was one of our dishes from today's cooking date and I swear I still can taste it!
Forget the calories and the cholesterol for a day and dive into this moist unctuous sticky and decadent dish.
Enjoy it!
