Moo Krob - Crispy Pork Belly
A delicious crispy pork belly dish… what's not to love! My youngest daughter will always ask me to make this for her for lunch, it is a very simple and such a great meal when served with sticky rice and a side of som tam. One of my family favourites! Reminds me of the old summer days when my husband and I use to take the kids to the park for a picnic and have a mini Thai feast!
Now that my kids are all grown-up, I need to show my daughter how to make this dish for herself for when she returns to university… She has almost gotten it down to perfection, sometimes I'll get a call every now and again to clarify some steps - but that's ok! This is why I want to share this crispy pork belly - Moo Krob recipe with everyone, I think we all deserve to have this quick and easy recipe at hand! With the use of only a few ingredients such as the pork belly (of course), tempura flour and some seasoning ingredients - you are good to go…
This dish is the best in the warm weather, summer vacations and BBQ season, so keep this in mind for when that time of year comes round again! If you are cooking this recipe, please take pictures and tag us @maejumsamunprai on social media, we would love to share!
