Directions

1. Step

Start by cutting the pork belly into slices, around 2cm thick. Mix the soy sauce, rice wine, honey, ginger, garlic, star anise, cinnamon stick, and water in a large pot. Add the pork belly and bring the mixture to a boil.

2. Step

Reduce the heat and simmer for about 1 hour or until the pork is tender and the sauce has reduced to a thick consistency.

3. Step

While the pork is simmering, prepare the salad. In a large bowl, combine the apples, spinach leaves, red onion, and pomegranate seeds.

4. Step

In a small bowl, whisk together the lime juice, olive oil, Dijon mustard, honey, and salt and pepper. Pour the dressing over the salad just before serving and mix well.
