My Father’s Accidental Recipe – Best Garlic Pork Belly!
Toasted Garlic
In this Garlic Pork Belly recipe, we will be using Toasted Garlic, not to be confused with black garlic, where the garlic is fermented.
I did some search on Google and found out that there is literally no information on “Fire Garlic”. Fire garlic is a direct translation of Chinese, whereas the proper term should be toasted garlic, the garlic is toasted in a smoked house, mostly produced from Guangdong province, China in two-story house and is exported to Western Europe and Southeast Asia.
In Malaysia, they are widely available in Chinese grocery shops and used in a wide variety of Chinese dishes.
By using toasted garlic, the garlic flavor is greatly enhanced, since the garlic flavor is intensified through the toasting process.
Rock Honey Sugar
Rock Honey Sugar is an important ingredient for this recipe, as this sugar has some light citrusy flavor that would balance the pungent flavor of the garlic.
