Crispy Pork Belly
- 2 pounds Pork Belly
- 1 teaspoon Cracked Black Pepper
- 1 teaspoon Chinese Five Spice
- 1 Tablespoon Chinese Black Bean Chili Paste
- 1/2 Tablespoons Sea Salt
- 1/2 Tablespoons White Vinegar
- 1/4 cups Soy Sauce
- 1 pinch Each Of Red Chili Flakes And Black Pepper
- Begin by scoring your pork belly.
- With a sharp knife slice into the fat, making cross marks, just deep enough to not cut through the pork.
- Poke the bottom and side of the pork, making incisions throughout the pork.
- Mix the all of the remaining ingredients, with the exception of the salt and vinegar.
- Place the pork in a large Ziplock bag, and pour in the mixed ingredients.
- Seal and begin massaging the pork, getting the mixture rubbed into the pork.
- Rub it well.
- Let sit in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, but overnight if you can.
- When you are ready to cook the pork, remove it from the bag and place fat side up on a large baking sheet that has been covered with foil and lined with a grated baking rack.
- Preheat your oven to 425 degrees F.
- Take some paper towel and completely dry or remove any moisture from the top fat of the pork.
- Sprinkle the salt and brush the vinegar on top of the fat.
- Place the baking sheet with the pork (fat side up) in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.
- As it cooks, the pork begins to brown and crisp up while some of that fatty goodness drips down onto the pork itself, adding more flavor.
- After the 30 minutes, reduce the heat to 350 degrees F and cook for one hour.
- Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the pork cool.
- Combine all of the dipping sauce ingredients in a bowl.
- When you are ready to serve, cut into bite sized pieces and serve with the dipping sauce.
- Not only are these crispy pork belly nuggets addicting, but they are so delicious.
- I had a whole table of kids gobbling them up, they were that great!
- Enjoy.
