Ingrendient

Recipe source :Christine's Recipe

2.5kg pork belly

1tbsp chinese cooking wine (Shaoxing wine)

 salt to taste

Seasonings

8tsp salt ( If you want more salty,you can add more salt)

4tsp sugar

2tbsp five-spice powder

Method

1. Combine salt with sugar and five-spice powder and set aside. 
2. Rinse the pork belly. Blanch in boiling water for about 15 minutes and the skin is softened. Drain well and wipe dry. Use a fork to poke the rind as many holes as possible. Turn over the meat side, cut a few slits on it.It help absorb seasonings better.
3. Rub the cooking wine over the pork.Rest for awhile.
4. Cover the meat with seasoning.Make sure there no seasoning on the skin.If not the five-spice will darken the skin.
5. Wrap the meat with foil.Don't cover the skin.Let the skin dry up in fridge.Marinate overnight.
6. Remove from fridge and let it rest at room temperature for a while.Poke the skin with fork once again.Wipe dry.Season the skin with salt.
7. Bake the pork belly in preheated oven at 220'c for 1 hour 45 minutes.
8. Remove and let it cool down before chopping.
