Sweet Pork Belly (Moo Wan)
Moo Wan is a sweet Thai pork belly appetizer. This recipe is very easy to make and only takes very little time. I happened to have some rice noodles that I wanted to get rid of, so I put some of this pork belly over it, garnished with green onions. This would also be great over rice if you want to make this the main course.
