I like to use bacon in my recipe because it is very flavourful. Pancetta would be a better alternative for this recipe but then, it is very hard to find a shop that sells this in KL. Pancetta is an Italian type of bacon but it has more spices like pepper, fennel, nutmeg and garlic added to it before being cured with salt. Pancetta is also a good choice of ingredient for pasta sauce. Since I cannot find pancetta, I have to use normal bacon for my Bacon Pork Rolls with Lychee Sauce.
Ingredients
Pork Belly (or you can use tender lean meat), 600gms
Bacon (or pancetta), 10 pcs
Pepper, ½ teaspoon
Thyme, 3 sprigs Salt to taste
Cumin, ½ teaspoon
Lemon juice, from 1 pc lemon,
Brown sugar, 1 table spoon
Sauce
Tomato sauce, 3 table spoon
Fresh lychee fruits, 5 pcs, remove seeds
Salt to taste
Pepper, a dash
Sugar, ½ teaspoon A little water.
Marinade the pork belly with pepper, thyme, salt, cumin, lemon juice and brown sugar. Wrap the bacon over the pork belly and tie with strings. Heat up oven to 120 Deg C and slow roast for 2 hours. To make the sauce, add some water in pan, add lychee and put in the tomato sauce. Add salt, pepper and sugar. Bring to a boil. You can use corn flour mixed with a little water to thicken the sauce.
