Method
Preparation
- 1
Prepare the Pork Belly
Begin by preheating your oven to 300°F (150°C). Pat the pork belly dry with paper towels. Trim any excess fat if necessary, but leave a good layer to ensure moisture during cooking.
- 2
Season the Pork Belly
In a small bowl, mix together the salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and brown sugar. Rub this spice mixture all over the pork belly, ensuring an even coating.
Cooking

Prepare the Marinade
In a separate bowl, combine the soy sauce and apple cider vinegar. Whisk them together until well mixed.
- 4
Roast the Pork Belly
Place the seasoned pork belly on a rack in a roasting pan. Pour the soy sauce mixture over the pork belly, allowing it to soak into the meat. Cover the roasting pan with aluminum foil and place it in the preheated oven.

Cook Slowly
Cook the pork belly for about 2.5 to 3 hours, or until the meat is tender and the fat has rendered. Remove the foil during the last 30 minutes of cooking to allow the skin to crisp up.

Slice and Serve
Once cooked, remove the pork belly from the oven and let it rest for about 15 minutes. Slice into thick pieces and serve warm, garnished with chopped green onions and sesame seeds if desired.
