Steps

    Slice the pork belly thinly and marinate with a little bouillon powder and turmeric powder. Let it sit for 15 minutes. Finely chop the wild betel leaves and crush the garlic. Mix the fermented rice with a little water, stir well, then strain through a sieve until smooth. Add a bit of turmeric powder and mix evenly.
