Slow-Roasted Pork Belly
- 1 rindless pork belly (6 to 7 lbs. without rind), cut lengthwise into 1 1/2-in.-wide strips*
- 1 to 2 tablespoons kosher salt
- 3 tablespoons toasted sesame oil
- 3 tablespoons Chinese-style hot pepper oil, or any East Asian chili garlic sauce or pepper paste such as Sriracha
- Preheat oven to 450u0b0. Liberally sprinkle pork all over with salt.
- Put pork in a large roasting pan (crowding is okay). Coat all over with toasted sesame oil, then with hot pepper oil.
- Roast for about 20 minutes. Then reduce to 350u0b0 and roast 2 to 2 1/2 hours, periodically pouring off fat (have a heatproof bowl handy for this), until pork belly is crisp on top but still juicy within.
- Serve the strips on a large wooden cutting board. Chop a couple of them into bite-size pieces to convey the idea, and serve with a knife so everyone can cut their own chunks.
- *Whole Foods Market sells pork belly already cut into strips.
- Make ahead: Up to 3 days, reheated at 350u0b0 for 15 minutes.
