Twice Cooked Pork 回鍋肉

Like its name, this dish requires two cooking processes. First boil the pork belly then cook it again by stir frying to intensify flavors. I love this dish prepared in Sichuan style. Anything with Sichuan means spicy. So be ready for it. It is perfect for the winter to warm up your stomach with a bowl of porridge for breakfast or over rice for lunch and dinner. Non-spicy versions of Broad Bean Sauces are available at your local Chinese supermarkets.
