Exclusive Braised Pork Belly with Potatoes and Vermicelli

Exclusive Braised Pork Belly with Potatoes and Vermicelli

Fatty pork belly renders its richness into a northern-style stew of golden potato chunks and glass noodles, perfumed with star anise and bay leaf. The noodles drink up the savory broth, turning glossy and slippery as the pork turns meltingly tender.
