Chinese Broccoli with Crispy Pork Belly Recipe

Chinese Broccoli with Crispy Pork Belly

This recipe is for our version of Pad Kana Moo Krob, made with a special dark and sweet sauce. The dish is not at all spicy, so it can be enjoyed by everyone. The ingredients we use include Chinese Broccoli, a dark green leafy vegetable that is similar to kale, crispy pork belly slices, sweet red chilies, and garlic. They are slowly stir fried together with oyster sauce and dark sweet soy sauce until a deliciously thick and sticky dark brown sauce is obtained. This is quite different than the usual way of making Pad Kana, which has a very light and thin garlic sauce that is slightly salty. Try ours. We think you'll enjoy it!
