Poke bowl with pork belly
As I am typing this, there are some men in the studio building the kitchen. They just drilled a hole from my floor down at New York Pizza (my studio is above New York Pizza) where the water line comes down through. That was my stress point for a while because yes still exciting. It looks like it’s all going to be okay with the water line, but I won’t rejoice until the line works and everything works.
Nothing to do with this delicious poke bowl with pork belly. I have to do without a kitchen for the moment so. And of course, to fry the bacon strips you need a frying pan. I always fry the bacon bits nice and crispy. You can season them with salt and pepper or use whatever spices you like.
Cauliflower rice
I always like a poke bowl best with cauliflower rice. This has two advantages; it makes it lighter, low-carb and also faster. That’s actually three advantages then. Oh no and also extra vegetables. So four advantages. But if you are a fan of plain rice or sushi rice, that’s also possible.
If you don’t want to use pork, you can just leave it out. The poke bowl is also very tasty without it and vegetarian. Or substitute with chicken, fish or whatever you like. I also like fried tempeh cubes. I am not a fan of tofu but tempeh is an exception.
Dressing
For the poke bowl with pork belly I use a nice fresh dressing. Very simple with mayonnaise as a base. I add some lemon or lime and a bit of mustard for extra flavor.
How to make the pork belly
Obviously one thing to keep in mind when making this pork belly is that you need to have the pork belly. Here in the Netherlands they sell small slices of pork belly. Those cook pretty quickly and take roughly 10 minutes to prepare.
I season the slices of pork with pepper and salt and add them to a dry (no oil added) frying pan or large skillet. I fry them until golden brown on both sides. Let it rest for a little bit on paper towels and then slice into small pieces.
If you’re looking for having a larger piece of pork belly, it is best to follow the steps here for making a pork belly.
