Suan Ni Bai Rou (Boiled Sliced Pork with Garlic Sauce)
Suan Ni Bai Rou can be translated loosely as "white meat with grated garlic"; suan ni means grated garlic and bai rou is white meat. Don't be fooled by how complex and fancy this dish is usually presented. It's actually very simple to make. The key is to boil the pork with rice wine, ginger, and star anise until tender and juicy with no porky smell. The main ingredient is pork belly, and served with a few veggie options such as cucumber and tomato.
The choice of meat cut for the sliced pork with garlic sauce is usually pork belly. If you want to use something leaner, you can use pork shoulder. However, keep in mind that the meat texture will be firmer after being boiled than the pork belly. With the pork belly, you can even slice off the skin before boiling if you don't like it. I found that the skin adds texture to the meat.

There is no right or wrong way of cutting the pork belly for this dish. You just need to make sure each piece of meat is very thin. I cut the whole pork belly in half first. And then thinly slice against the grain. If your pork belly is not cool enough for cutting, you can put it in the refrigerator for a little bit. The pork belly will be cooler and firmer so you can easily cut it into thin slices.

Place the cucumber slices around the edge of the plate. Next, place the tomato on top of the cucumber. And add the pork belly slices in the middle. Finally, drizzle the sauce on the top. Sprinkle some green onion.
