Lemongrass, star anise and fennel pork belly with dashi

Another from Cut the cookbook by Josh Emmet.  The crackling was just as I love it, chewy and perfect (it's personal I know but I like chewy not crunchy pork skin).  The lemongrass in particular was beautiful and not something I've paired with pork belly before.  I added star anise as I simply love pork belly and star anise.  An elegant dish that would be just as good with pork fillet and the same combination of spices.  The dashi adds a beautiful light touch that makes this a clean way to eat pork belly.  I served it here with braised fennel.
