I always like the idea behind many of the slow cooked dishes that seem to proliferate the supermarket shelves these days, but sometimes the execution doesn’t always meet the expectation.
I was intrigued by these pork burnt ends from Asda, which cost £4.95.
Pork belly bites marinated in aromatic Chinese 5 spice, slow cooked for 3 and a half hours for mouthwatering tenderness, finished with sticky honey and soy sauce.
They were easy to cook. I used half with some stir fried vegetables and the rest I put in bao buns.
I quite liked them, and they were quite tasty.
One of the reasons I sometimes buy this kind of thing, is to then try and replicate the dish from scratch. I’ve yet to do that.
