Peking pork belly tacos

Pork second courses Mexican cuisine

Between the memories of delicious Peking Duck my parents would take the family out to eat, and the incredible Roast Pork Buns served at David Chang's Momofuku in New York, I had to create something of my own at home. If you have access to them at your local Asian market or if you can make them yourself as I did, a pan-toasted scallion pancake is great in lieu of a tortilla, and holds together a real explosion of flavors and textures (not kidding). It can get a little messy, but all is forgiven when you take that first bite. <br /> <br />The pork belly can be prepared a day (or days) ahead as it does take a long time to both cure and set.
