Sichuan cured pork belly—that's a longing etched into the DNA of every Sichuanese. In previous years, we'd eat cured pork belly made from pigs raised by our neighbors back home. Those pigs were raised for over a year, so they were incredibly fatty; the fat slices alone were as wide as a hand, making it quite a hefty meal. This year, I decided to make it myself—a down-to-earth, family-style version. I specifically chose leaner cuts of pork, finally achieving "cured pork belly freedom"! Look at this! The layers of fat are distinct, golden and translucent, glistening with oil—it makes my mouth water just looking at it. Unlike the dark, charred kind from smoking back home, this is clean and easy to wash. A close sniff reveals a subtle cypress aroma mixed with the numbing fragrance of Sichuan peppercorns. Steaming it releases a rich, smoky flavor that fills the room. The fatty parts are tender and not greasy, while the lean parts are firm and chewy—every bite is the taste of home.
