In a half assed attempt to make "five spice bacon" i hot smoked some pork belly for an hour and a half. Then added a little liquid and covered it with foil for another hourish. Wellllll it aint no bacon but it sure is some juicy succulent fall apart tender pork. Made a slightly sweet and spicy dipping sauce. Almost out of kimchi now and this stuff is tho thour it will make you pucker.
Added the coconut, shado beni, scallions and the MOA yellow floater. The ox tails are still pretty tough so i got time to add some new potatoes to it later.
Getting tender now so the taters went in and the rice is on. I added some coconut water to the rice. Adding a little more celery and some green pepper before its ready.
Probably going to garnish with laksa since the plant is getting good sized now. Nothing like herbs picked minutes before using them.
Braised and deboned ox tails
