Window on George

. Every time I prepare this dish, I'm amazed at how a few simple ingredients can produce such exquisite deliciousness, and how easy it is too make! Pork Belly  (I used pork neck) A bunch of scallions About 7 thick slices of ginger Rock sugar (I used my lavender honey) Soy sauce  The recipe does not require it, but I added some Sweet Soy Sauce, called Kecap Manis, as well. Shaoxing rice wine ( Used left over sauv blanc!) Simmer GENTLY for about 2 or 3 hours, depending on how much meat you have. The longer the better. The fat becomes like jelly which is what makes this so yummmmmmy. My side dishes,  very Un-Chinese  were  mushrooms sweet pumpkin with cinnamon sticks threw in some baby potatoes and mange tout to steam in the meat sauce It all went very well with the wild ginger flowers I got at my market today.
