Method

Prepare the Pork Belly

  1. 1

    Cook the Pork Belly

    Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Rub pork belly with salt, black pepper, five-spice powder, and vegetable oil. Place in a roasting pan, skin side up, and roast for 2.5 to 3 hours until tender.

  2. 2

    Crisp the Skin

    Increase oven temperature to 450°F (230°C) and roast for an additional 30 minutes until the skin is crispy. Remove from oven and let rest before slicing.

Make the Barbecue Sauce

    Pickle the Carrots

    In a bowl, combine rice vinegar, sugar, and salt. Add julienned carrots and thinly sliced red onion. Let it sit for at least 30 minutes.
