Crispy Pork Belly Sandwich | Pan con Chicharrón w Homemade French Rolls

Who doesn't love pork belly? I grew up eating this delicious cut of meat and am always on the lookout for new, interesting and tasty preparations! Today, I happened to be in the mood for Pan con Chicharrón, a Peruvian sandwich, probably the MOST famous Peruvian sandwich.
This sandwich consists of fried crispy pork, a bright and vibrant onion salsa (salsa criolla), a aji amarillo mayo, some fried sweet potato all on a crispy French style roll. What is there not to like right?
For the bread, I used my Vietnamese baguette recipe. The only difference is the way I shaped them for this sandwich. I scaled and rounded them into 115 g dough balls. I have the recipe and video for you right here.

Good morning Chef. I don’t eat pork but figured I’d support by giving this a watch. Great video! I would love to find a good pressure cooker.

[@cheftuan]

Pretty much any pressure cooker will do. Depending on how much technology you want! I'm old school. But you can definitely use Instant pot and things that are similar.

[@susananoriega6415]

Where do you get those pork belly slabs at?? Sammich looks incredible

[@cheftuan]

Thank you Jimmy! I get them at the Asian markets.

[@vinl8541]

😱😱😱

[@jimmyvega23]

if you don't have a pressure cooker how long should you braise the belly?

[@cheftuan]

Usually for about 2-3 hours until tender.
