Method

Wrap the orange peel, juniper berries, star anise, peppercorns, and ginger peel in muslin and tie with string.

Add the muslin parcel and all other ingredients into a saucepan of water.

Bring the mixture to a boil then simmer for 2 to 3 hours until cooked.

Remove the saucepan from the heat and allow the contents to cool.

Take the cooled pork belly out of the liquid and place it on a board.

Trim away any excess fat and slice the meat.

Strain the liquid through a sieve and reserve both the liquid and vegetables.

Cut the vegetables into smaller pieces and return them to the liquid with the pork.

Serve the braised pork and vegetables with crushed new potatoes.
