Marinating the Pork
In a bowl, mix soy sauce, Shaoxing wine, brown sugar, honey, five-spice powder, salt, minced garlic, and minced ginger to create a marinade.

Preparing the Pork
Place the pork belly in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the pork, ensuring it is well coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.

Preheating the Oven
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Roasting the Pork
Remove the pork from the marinade and place it on a baking rack over a lined baking sheet. Reserve the marinade for basting. Roast the pork in the preheated oven for about 45 minutes, basting with the reserved marinade every 15 minutes.
