The transparent glass salad bowl helps offset the visual heaviness of the braised pork, while a white porcelain plate with wavy edges underneath serves as a tray, making the vibrant green lettuce stand out. Strategically arranged dragon fruit, cherry tomatoes, and parsley add colorful accents. With the clever use of a spoon, this small setting instantly becomes a lively scene with clear distinction between the main and side ingredients.
Ingredients: pork belly, ginger, green onions, garlic, chili peppers, etc.
Instructions: Cut the pork belly into chunks and fry them in hot oil at 180°C over high heat until they turn a golden brown. Then, add ginger, green onions, garlic, and chili peppers to the pot, simmer for about 90 minutes, and you'll have a fragrant and delicious braised pork.
Scene 1: A clear salad bowl to lighten the richness
Plating Method
① Place a transparent salad bowl on a wavy plate. Fill the bowl with spread-out lettuce leaves, and place a decorative spoon on the right side of the plate. In the upper right corner, arrange diced parsley, dragon fruit, and cherry tomatoes. Add a yellow flower and green sprigs on top of the cherry tomatoes for garnish.
② Layer the braised pork in the salad bowl, arranging it in a staggered pattern for visual depth.
③ Place a piece of braised pork on the spoon, and you can add a small garlic clove on top for extra flavor.
④ Finally, garnish the braised pork in the salad bowl with cilantro, and place a small piece of cilantro next to the spoon to echo the garnish on the pork.
Scene 2: Bamboo Leaves Like Flying Swallows, Cilantro Enhances Color and Aroma
This dishware resembles a shield, with its snowy white surface exuding a graceful elegance. Its depth is perfect for holding a main course for two, and its curved shape offers a full view of the dish. Bamboo leaves are intricately arranged to create a design reminiscent of flying swallows, making the vibrant orange hue of the braised pork stand out. A small piece of cilantro is added as a finishing touch, not only enhancing the aroma but also giving the dish an eye-catching accent.
Plating Method
① First, take a bamboo leaf and cut it at a slanted angle. Then make a straight cut at the slanted edge, shaping the leaf into a swallowtail form.
② Stand half of the bamboo leaf upright and place two pieces of braised meat in front and behind the leaf, allowing the slanted edge to stand upright. Arrange the rest of the braised meat in the bowl.
③ Add garlic to create a contrast in color.
④ Pour the braising sauce into the bowl, filling it halfway. Finally, garnish the meat with cilantro, adding a visual highlight while enhancing the flavor and aroma of the dish.
Plating Tip: To make the braised meat tender and flavorful, it’s recommended to use pork belly with a 30% fat to 70% lean ratio—this is the perfect balance of fat and lean meat. With this ratio, you can cook a home-style dish that leaves a lasting impression.
