Claypot Pork Belly With Salted Fish

I've bought the Claypot for quite sometime but didn't get the chance to use it to cook any dishes till yesterday when I suddenly browse through one of my cookbook on claypot dishes, and here, Claypot Pork Belly With Salted Fish.  Since I have all the ingredients with me, why not cook something different for dinner.

Claypot is an ideal choice for braising and stewing food over low heat as it heats evenly and retains heat well.  Ingredients cooked over a long period of time in a claypot are soft and tender,packed full of their natural flavours and emit a unique aroma that can only be achieved by cooking in a claypot.

Ingredients :
300g pork belly, slice about 0.5cm)
25g salted fish
2 cloves garlic, chopped finely
