Ingredients

  • 4 ears of corn
  • 3 green onions--finely chopped
  • 1 red bell pepper--finely chopped
  • 6 ounces cooked pork belly*
  • 6 chives--finely minced
  • 2 tablespoons fish sauce
  • 4 teaspoons seasoned rice vinegar
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons cider vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon white pepper

Method

  • steam corn until just tender, do not over cook. allow to cool and remove the kernels from the cob, careful to collect all juice.
  • slice the already cooked pork belly into 1/4" slices, then slice 1/4" crosswise to make baton like pieces. pan fry until crispy. set aside.
  • place the rest of the ingredients in a large bowl and toss well.
  • before serving, toss in the pork belly. if preparing this in advance, and storing the pork belly in the refrigerator, heat the pork belly a bit to remove the chill a bit, before adding to the corn salad.
  • *prepare your pork belly as you would like. for this dish, i marinate 8oz of pork belly in root beer over night. i then slow roast in the oven (325) on top of green apples, sea salt, black pepper and a splash of soy sauce. i make larger batches and keep the pork belly in the freezer for quick preparation.
