Crispy Pork Jowl

Ingredients

• ▢1 lb cured pork jowl

• ▢1/2 cup chicken broth

• ▢1 tablespoon honey

• ▢1 tablespoon butter

• ▢1 teaspoon cornstarch

• ▢1 tablespoon water

For the Dipping Sauce

• ▢1/4 cup soy sauce

• ▢1 tablespoon rice vinegar sub with apple cider vinegar

• ▢2 cloves garlic minced

• ▢1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes optional

  Instructions

  • Pan fry the pork jowl over medium heat until crispy.

  • Remove from the pan and drain off the excess grease.

  • Reduce the heat to medium-low and add the jowl back in, along with chicken broth, honey, and butter to the pan. Stir to combine.

  • In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch and water, then pour it into the pan. Stir and let it simmer for 3-5 minutes, until the sauce thickens slightly and begins to coat the pan. Toss the jowl with tongs to fully coat it in the sauce.

  • In a separate bowl, mix together the soy sauce, vinegar, garlic, and red pepper flakes to make the dipping sauce.

  • Serve the pork jowl warm with the dipping sauce on the side.
