Foodie Fridays - Hakka Style Crispy Pork Belly

I'm sharing with you another Hakka dish today. I decided to make this dish at the last minute and is pleased with the dish.  We thought the pork belly will be very tough and chewy because it was being deep fried twice but surprisingly it was not.  Instead it was juice and soft.  This is a must try dish for pork belly lovers!

      3. My brother used to cook fried chicken coated with flour and five spice and it taste so good. For sure this one would taste great, too.
