Coriander is ‘Love OR Hate’ vegetable. If you are a coriander hater, you wouldn’t enjoy this salad. If you love Coriander, you got to try it. It’s so refreshing and yummy. I hesitate to say I love Coriander, but I do enjoy its flavour. Definitely I don’t think it tastes like soap. Pork Belly is blanched in boiling salted water and you don’t add any Oil to this salad. It is quite healthy.

Ingredients

2 to 3 Servings
  1. 150 gthinly sliced Pork Belly *cut into bite-size pieces
  2. Salt to cook Pork Belly
  3. 50 gCoriander *1 bunch that I bough was about 50g
  4. 1/4red Onion *thinly sliced
  5. 10 cmCucumber *sliced 3-4mm thick
  6. 1Hot Chilli *OR as required, thinly sliced
  7. 2 tablespoonsRoasted Peanuts *coarsely chopped
  8. Sauce
  9. 1 tablespoonLime/Lemon Juice
  10. 1 tablespoonFish Sauce
  11. 1 teaspoonSugar *optional, alter the amount to suit your taste

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Combine all the sauce ingredients in a small bowl. Sugar is optional. Add it only if you want the sauce sweet. You may wish to add more.

  2. 2

    Wash Coriander, then dry well. Salad spinner would be a good tool. I use a large tea towel. Wrap Coriander with a tea towel and shake it, so that you can remove water pretty well.

  3. 3

    Cut Coriander into 2-3cm pieces and place in a mixing bowl. Add Red Onion, Cucumber and Chilli.

  4. 4

    Cook Pork slices in strongly salted boiling water. It won’t take long. When cooked, drain, cool under cold water, drain well, then add to the bowl.

  5. 5

    Add the sauce and mix to combine. Scatter coarsely chopped Roasted Peanuts and serve immediately.
