Pork Belly Buns (a la momofuku)

Pork belly buns (a la momofuku).

Ingredients
roasted pork belly
gwa bao
green onions
quick pickles (recipe below)
hoisin sauce


Directions
1. Slice pork belly into 1/2 inch thick slices, about 2 inches long.  This is easier when the pork has cooled.  If you want really pretty slices, you can chill the pork in the refrigerator before slicing.

2. Slice green onions into fine 2 inch strips.

3. Steam gwa bao.  You can make your own from scratch, or you can just buy some frozen ones as I did.

4. Heat the pork slices in a pan or in the oven just to warm them.

5. Assemble the pork belly bun.
