Ingredients

Method

• 700 g Woolworths smoked pork belly roast
• 500 g Woolworths waffle potato chips(optional) 
• canola oil, for deep-frying
• sea salt, to taste
• 1 Woolworths French baguette
• 4 T Hellmann’s mayonnaise
• Woolworths Flying Goose sriracha hot chilli sauce, to taste 
• 4 Woolworths mini cucumbers, thinly sliced 
• jalapeño, thinly sliced, to taste 
• a handful fresh coriander, to garnish 
For the quick-pickled carrots: 
• 200 g carrots, peeled into ribbons or thinly sliced julienne 
• ¼ cup white spirit vinegar
• ¼ cup boiling water
• 2 t white sugar
• ½ t sea salt

Method

Ingredients

1. Preheat the oven and cook the pork belly according to package instructions. Once rested, slice thinly.

2. To make the pickled carrots, place the carrot ribbons in a bowl. In a separate jug, combine the vinegar, boiling water, sugar and salt, stirring to dissolve. Pour over the carrots and set aside to pickle for at least 15 minutes, or longer if possible.

3. To make the waffle crisps, heat the oil and deep-fry in batches until golden and crispy. Season with sea salt and drain on kitchen paper.

4. Cut the baguette into quarters and slice each piece open lengthways without cutting all the way through. Spread each baguette with 1 T mayonnaise and a dash (or more) of sriracha. Layer with the cucumber, drained pickled carrots, sliced pork belly, jalapeños and fresh coriander. Serve immediately – or wrap tightly for an on-the-go lunch with flavour-packed crunch in every bite.

Cook’s note: Add a drizzle of hoisin sauce or a few dashes of soya sauce for even more umami. If baguettes are unavailable, Woolworths mini ciabatta rolls are a great swap. The pickled carrots can be made a day in advance. If you’re feeding more people, stretch the pork belly with extra salad toppings or use a mix of pork belly and cold cuts.
