Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

    Loved this recipe but you definitely need to plan ahead due to the long cook time. I used regular slider buns with a kimchi slaw and they were fantastic. I highly recommend and will be making them again.

    Thanks to Eat Your Books, I found this recipe to use up soy and five spice marinated pork belly left over from joong making. I made half an recipe since I only have about skinless pork belly left. I skipped the soy and the five spice in the recipe and used store bought boa bun. They were absolutely delicious.
