Braise and assemble(1h 50m)

Braise pork belly with soy, star anise, cinnamon, sugar, and water for 90 min until falling apart. Make dough: flour, yeast, water, rest 30 min. Form small flatbreads, dry-fry in a skillet 3 min per side until puffed. Chop braised pork finely, stuff into slit bread with chopped cilantro and green chilies.

Pro Tips for Western Kitchens

The bread is traditionally baked in a clay oven, but a dry cast-iron skillet gives a close approximation — crispy outside, chewy inside.
