Preheat the oven to 120°C/gas mark 1/2

Fry the chorizo in a hot pan until lightly caramelised and cooked through. Add the chorizo, plus any oil from the pan, to the pulled pork

Add enough of the reduced sauce to bind the pork belly - you want it to be able to hold its shape when formed into balls. Mix in the chopped coriander leaves and adjust the seasoning if necessary. Mould into 50g balls and set aside
7
Place a ball of the pulled pork onto a gyoza wrapper and moisten the edges with a little water. Place another wrapper over the top and seal together pushing out any air as you go. Steam in a bamboo steamer or steam oven for 6 minutes, then chill in iced water
8
For the green chilli, peanut and sesame sauce, bring the sugarm fish sauce, vinegar and water to the boil for 5 minutes. Add the chilli and cook for 2 minutes. Add the remaining ingredients, season to taste
9
For the cucumber, heat the pickle ingredients together in a pan then pour over the cucumber dice and chill
10
To assemble, steam the raviolo in a bamboo steamer for 5 minutes. Place a generous spoonful of cucumber pickle dice in a bowl, place the raviolo on top then spoon a generous spoonful of the green chilli, sesame and peanut sauce on top. Garnish with the mint and coriander cress
