Crispy Pork Belly
Method
Cooking Instructions
Prepare the Pork Belly
Preheat your oven to 150°C (300°F). Score the skin of the pork belly in a crisscross pattern, ensuring not to cut into the meat. Rub the salt, black pepper, and five-spice powder all over the pork belly, making sure to get it into the scored skin.
Cook the Pork Belly
Place the pork belly on a rack in a roasting pan, skin side up. Roast in the preheated oven for about 2 hours, or until the meat is tender.
Crisp the Skin
Increase the oven temperature to 240°C (465°F) and cook for an additional 20-30 minutes, or until the skin is crispy and golden brown. Keep an eye on it to prevent burning.
Prepare the Hoisin Dipping Sauce
In a small bowl, mix together the hoisin sauce, rice vinegar, and minced garlic cloves. Adjust seasoning to taste.
Serve
Remove the pork belly from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes. Slice into bite-sized pieces and serve with the hoisin dipping sauce.
