Pork belly is a fatty bone segment that is extracted from the belly of a pig, much like bacon. Pork belly is not safe, unlike bacon, and is typically a more sensitive cut of meat. Pork belly is available in many dishes around the world but is most preferred for use in Korean, Thai, Filipino and Chinese foods. This is a keto recipe for pork. Great on its own, as breakfast, or with your favourite dish. We recommend that you cut the meat into pieces and serve it in the form of bok choy or lettuce boats! Serve with dipping oil and pepper sauce and you’ll be ready for a delicious low carb, high fat, soft protein meal!
