Before you jump to Five Spice Pan Fried Pork Belly recipe, you may want to read this short interesting healthy tips about Suggestions For Living Green And Spending less In The Kitchen.

It was not that long ago that hippies and tree huggers were the only ones to show concern about the well-being of the ecosystem. That’s a thing of the past now, with everyone being aware of the problems besetting the planet and also the shared burden we have for turning things around. According to the specialists, to clean up the natural environment we are all going to have to make some changes. These types of changes need to start happening, and each individual family needs to become more environmentally friendly. The cooking area is a good starting point saving energy by going much more green.

You may prefer cooking with your oven, but using a microwave instead will cost you much less money. Possibly the realization that an oven utilizes 75% more energy will stimulate you to use the microwave more. When it comes to boiling water and steaming vegetables, you can save a lot of electrical power and do the job faster with countertop appliances rather than a stove. Many people mistakenly believe that doing the dishes by hand uses a lesser amount of energy than a dishwasher. You get the maximum energy savings by fully loading the dishwasher ahead of commencing a wash cycle. Don’t dry the dishes with heat, use the cool dry or air dry options to increase the money you save.

From the above it really should be clear that just in the kitchen, by itself, there are many little opportunities for saving energy and money. It is reasonably easy to live green, after all. It’s about being functional, more often than not.

Instructions to make Five Spice Pan Fried Pork Belly:
  1. Prep: a few hours or overnight before cooking. - - Marinate pork belly slabs in soy sauce (enough to change meat color once absorbed) and calamansi (squeeze 1 per slab). - - Set aside in chiller.
  2. Take out chilled marinade of pork. - - Cut a few slits on the fat side to help it remain flat on pan when frying. - - Heat a non-stick pan with cooking oil. Don't put a lot, only 2-3 tbsp, as it's own oil will come out. - - I used a pan big enough to fit all three.
  3. Once hot enough (not too much that it will spit oil), place all 3 pork belly in pan and cover in low-medium heat. - - Let it defrost in pan, let water come out. Cover 7-10 minutes. - - You'll see pork thawed, cooking in its juices and fat still not rendered. This will help tenderize the pork. - - Flip it on the other side, and simmer in juices for another 6-7 minutes, covered
  4. (Side 1) uncover, squeeze lemon on each and sprinkle a pinch of rock salt on each pork and fat area. Sprinkle a generous amount of five spice powder and ground black pepper. - - Get a back of the spoon and use to pat and spread salt & spices on belly. Cover 1 minute. - - Turn bellies on other side (side 2). Increase heat to medium. Add the same to this belly sides- remaining lemon juice, pepper, salt, five spice and spread with back of spoon, then cover. - - Do not flip yet. Let fat render on side 1.
  5. Let fat render on side 1 in pan in medium heat. You will hear popping sounds. Peek after a few minutes, you'll smell the spices. - - See if side 1 on pan has darkened in color before flipping on side 2.
  6. Reduce heat, careful of oil spitting when flipping pork belly to other side. - - Once flipped on side 2, increase heat to medium and cover. Listen for popping sounds, this means the fat is rendering. - - After a few minutes, peek carefully, if darkened in color, remove from heat and let oil drop on a rack before serving. - - Serve with rice, veggies or potatoes. Enjoy.
