Indulge in this epic BBQ Pork Belly and Crispy Wonton Salad featuring a symphony of flavors and textures. A crazy good feast worth every bite!
Ingredients
- • pork belly: 1 pound, skin scored
- • BBQ sauce: 1/2 cup
- • soy sauce: 2 tablespoons
- • honey: 2 tablespoons
- • garlic: 3 cloves, minced
- • fresh ginger: 1 tablespoon, grated
- • mixed salad greens: 6 cups
- • wonton wrappers: 10, cut into strips
- • vegetable oil: for frying
- • avocado: 1, sliced
- • pickled red onions: 1/2 cup
- • scallions: 2, sliced
- • sesame seeds: 1 tablespoon
- • lime: 1, cut into wedges
Instructions
- 1 Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C).
- 2 In a small bowl, combine BBQ sauce, soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Whisk until smooth and set aside.
- 3 Place the scored pork belly in a baking dish. Pour half of the BBQ mixture over the pork belly, ensuring it is well-coated. Cover with foil and bake for 45 minutes.
- 4 Heat vegetable oil in a deep skillet over medium-high heat. Fry wonton strips until golden and crispy, about 1-2 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels.
- 5 After 45 minutes, remove the foil from the pork belly. Increase the oven temperature to 400°F (204°C) and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the pork is caramelized and sticky.
- 6 Allow the pork belly to rest for 10 minutes before slicing into bite-sized pieces.
- 7 To assemble the salad, place mixed greens in a large serving bowl. Top with sliced pork belly, crispy wontons, avocado slices, pickled red onions, and scallions.
- 8 Drizzle with the remaining BBQ sauce mixture and sprinkle with sesame seeds. Serve with lime wedges for an extra burst of flavor.
Serving Suggestions
- • This Epic BBQ Pork Belly and Crispy Wonton Salad is a showstopper on its own, but it pairs beautifully with a chilled glass of Riesling or a crisp lager to balance the richness of the pork. For a complete meal, consider serving with a side of warm, crusty bread to soak up any extra BBQ glaze. Alternatively, a light soup such as miso or hot and sour would complement the salad's bold flavors without overpowering them.
Storage Tips
If you have leftovers, store the pork belly separately from the salad components in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place the pork belly in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 10 minutes until warmed through. Reassemble the salad just before serving to maintain the crispness of the wontons.
