The Brine

Bring all the ingredients to a simmer and take off the heat. Leave to cool and refrigerate with all the herbs in.

Place the prepared belly or ribs into the brine for 6 hours, then place onto a rack to air dry in the fridge for a min of 2 hours to ½ a day.

     +    
Ribs

Regardless of if they have been brined or not, rub the marinade in and leave for 3 hours before cooking. Ribs are best cooked on the barbecue for best result.

Cook slow at 75c for 8 hours. Press well in fridge once cooked.

     +    
Spinach & Garlic Leaf Wrap

Process all the ingredients into a blender until the batter is smooth. Add more water if needed, as it may thicken.

Add a little oil to the pan, spin the mix evenly around the non-stick pan and cook for about two minutes on a low – medium heat. Turn over for another minute, then remove from the pan and cut to the correct size.

     +    
Wild Garlic Oil

Bring a pan of 3% salt water to the boil and add the garlic leaves, cooking for 30 seconds before placing straight into iced water. Leave until completely cold.

Squeeze as much of the water out and dehydrate at 65c for 3 hours.

Blend in a thermos with the oil at 70c for 7 minutes. Tape a J cloth over a paco jet, and place into an ice bath. Pour in the oil to suspend and place into fridge to drip 5-6 hours.

     +    
Sichuan Pickled Cucumber

Gently heat the rice vinegar with the sugar, salt, mint, ginger, fresh chili, spices and stir to help the sugar and salt dissolve.

Heat the sesame oil in a small frying-pan, fry the peppercorns for about 10 seconds, add the dried chili and cook for 15 seconds or so.

Pour in the vinegar while it’s still hot and mix well, then leave to cool. Add the cucumber and leave to marinade for 2 days before using them.
