As requested by my readers, here's the recipe based on the used of leftover bbq chicken. Of course, if you want to try the fresh meat shaobing, it is much more juicier compare to the cooked meat. So, from the recipe given below, you may just replace the bbq chicken to fresh pork belly. But make sure the meat is well sliced and cut, and then marinade. Please read on for more.
After the first bite, you will want to ask for more. I polished off 2 in one go.
haha.... Make sure you have enough to feed the family members >o<
