    Preparation Steps

    1

    Cut the pork belly into large chunks and place them in a large pot. Pour in the soy sauce, hoisin sauce, and rice vinegar. Add the brown sugar, crushed garlic, grated ginger, and star anise. Cover the meat with enough water to submerge it.

    2

    Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 2-3 hours, or until the pork is tender and easily pulls apart.

    3

    Once the pork is cooked, remove it from the pot and let it cool slightly. Then, slice it thinly.

    4

    Warm the steamed buns in a steamer or microwave until they are soft and heated through.

    5

    Fill the buns with the sliced pork belly, thinly sliced fresh cucumber, fresh cilantro, and sprinkle with chili flakes to taste.

    6

    Serve the pork belly buns immediately, and offer hoisin sauce as a dipping sauce.
