Step 1: Marinate the Pork and Blanch the Vegetables
Rinse the pork belly under running water and pat it dry. Use a knife to score the meat to tenderize it. In a bowl, combine the pork with barbecue sauce, garlic powder, and orange juice. Rub the marinade all over the meat.
For the vegetables, trim the ends and any old leaves from the spoon cabbage. Wash it thoroughly and blanch it in boiling water. Drain and set aside.
