I regularly purchase a nicely lean block of Pork Belly, cut into smaller blocks, half freeze and thinly slice, then cut into bite-size pieces before freezing to store. These already cut thin slices are so handy to have. They can be used straight away for stir-fry or soup or anything. It didn’t take long to cook this delicious Udon Soup.
