Main Ingredients- 300g Pork Belly (use a thick cut for best results)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Score the skin of the pork belly by making shallow cuts about 1-1.5cm apart. This helps the marinade penetrate better and makes the skin crispier when roasted.
Step 2
Lightly season the scored pork belly on all sides with salt and black pepper. A little goes a long way here.
Step 3
In a bowl, combine the soy sauce, sugar, minced garlic, cooking wine, and black pepper. Whisk well until the sugar is dissolved to create the marinade.
Step 4
Add the seasoned pork belly to the marinade and turn to coat it evenly. Let it marinate for about 5-10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Step 5
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Place the marinated pork belly in the preheated oven and roast for 20 minutes. After 20 minutes, carefully flip the pork belly over and roast for another 20 minutes. The total cooking time of about 40 minutes should result in a juicy interior and a beautifully browned, slightly crispy exterior. (Cooking time may vary depending on your oven’s performance.)
