Often called the "Taiwanese hamburger," a street food staple. Traditionally sandwiched in a soft steamed bun, though sliced bread makes a reasonable home substitute. Ground peanuts add a toasty crunch that plays off the rich, sweet-savory pork.
Cut the pork belly block into 6 thick slices.
Heat oil in a pot, fry the garlic, then add the pork and brown the surface.
Add the soy sauce, five-spice powder, sugar, and 400ml water; cover and simmer over low heat for about 1 hour until meltingly tender.
Roughly chop the peanuts.
Lightly toast the bread.
Sandwich the braised pork in the bread, top with chopped peanuts and cilantro, and serve.
