1tablespoon hot chilli sauce
1teaspoon garlic powder

Method:-
Add pork belly slices, stock, ginger, garlic.
1 kg (2.2 lbs) rindless pork belly slices,1 litre (4 1/4 cups) hot chicken stock,1 thumb sized piece of ginger,3 cloves garlic,1 tbsp rice wine,1 tbsp caster sugar
Bring to the boil, then place a lid on, turn down the heat and simmer for 2 hours.
Turn off the heat, remove the pork from the pan and pat it dry using kitchen towels. You can reserve the liquid if you like (Perfect for a Thai or Chinese noodle soup).
Chop the pork into bite sized chunks.
In a small bowl, mix together all the glaze ingredients.
Add 1 tbsp of oil to a frying pan and heat over a medium-high heat.
Add in the pork, along with a pinch of salt and pepper, and fry, turning regularly, until the pork starts to turn golden. Be careful as the oil can splatter at this stage (I recommend a splatter guard).
Now pour the glaze over the pork and continue to cook for a couple of minutes, turning the pork often, until the pork looks dark and sticky.
