Pine tip is a very good seasoning; it has the mix of citrus and gin flavour that goes well with pork and fish. Prior to the picking, you will want to do a little taste test around different trees, looking for one that produces the great citrus flavour. I had some great pine tips before, but I also had some were equally bad. Just try a few different trees to do a comparison. My son and I enjoy nippling the trees while taking a walk. He always knows the pine tips is a source of vitamin C and he is so proud of himself for eating them. Personally, I like the tips are still with the brown casings, just because they look the freshest to me. But it is totally fine if they are without the case too.

INGREDIENTS:
20 Pine Tips
1 pc Pork Belly, cut into chunks
4 tablespoons Soy Sauce
1/3 teaspoon Salt
2 tablespoons Sugar
1 teaspoon White Pepper Powder
3 tablespoons Vegetable Oil
Honey (for serving)
DIRECTION:
1. Remove the brown casings from the pine tips. Chop the pine tips until fine.
2. In a mixing bowl, combine all ingredients except the oil. Rub the pork bell until it is well coated with the seasoning; marinade it for 30 minutes.
3. Heat up the oil in a skillet. Place the pork belly on top; fry it until golden brown over medium heat; about 10 minutes.
4. Turn the pork over, and fry the other side for another 10 minutes. Transfer the pork on a serving plate. Brush a think layer of honey on top before serve.
