Northern Thai Pork Belly Curry (Kang Hung Lay)
  1. In a large bowl, combine the pork belly, pork shoulder, red curry paste, curry powder and garam masala. Massage together for about a minute to work the marinade into the pork. Cover and let marinate in the fridge for 4 hours or overnight.

  2. When ready to cook, heat an 8-quart (76-L) Dutch oven or pot over high heat for about 2 to 3 minutes. Swirl in the oil and fry the pork, turning occasionally, for 6 to 10 minutes until browned on all sides.

  3. Add the peanuts, ginger and pickled garlic cloves. Pour in the chicken stock to cover by 1 inch (3 cm). Bring the liquid to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer.

  4. Cover and simmer, stirring occasionally and scraping the bottom of the pan so nothing sticks, for 1 to 1 ½ hours, until the pork belly is fork tender and the curry has a nice, thick gravy-like consistency.

  5. To season, stir in the palm sugar, tamarind concentrate, fish sauce, light soy sauce, black soy sauce and pickled garlic juice. Simmer for 5 more minutes, taste and adjust any of the seasonings if you'd like, then serve garnished with lime leaves and cilantro.
