I love to eat Di Wang Cai. But sometimes I find that this veggie got abit of soil smell, so I will wash a few times and soak in water with a pinch of salt for awhile.

Then blanched in boiling water with some salt and cooking oil for a few minutes. Drained up.

Placed on a serving plate. Set aside.

Marinated the pork belly with ABC sweet soy sauce, light soy sauce, pepper & honey.
Airfried @ 180 degree for 30 minutes or till cooked and browned on both side.
