1
Begin by scoring your pork belly.
-
2
With a sharp knife slice into the fat, making cross marks, just deep enough to not cut through the pork.
-
3
Poke the bottom and side of the pork, making incisions throughout the pork.
-
4
Mix the all of the remaining ingredients, with the exception of the salt and vinegar.
-
5
Place the pork in a large Ziplock bag, and pour in the mixed ingredients.
-
6
Seal and begin massaging the pork, getting the mixture rubbed into the pork.
-
7
Rub it well.
-
8
Let sit in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, but overnight if you can.
-
9
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.
-
10
Preheat your oven to 425 degrees F.
-
11
Take some paper towel and completely dry or remove any moisture from the top fat of the pork.
-
12
Sprinkle the salt and brush the vinegar on top of the fat.
-
13
Place the baking sheet with the pork (fat side up) in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.
-
14
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.
-
15
After the 30 minutes, reduce the heat to 350 degrees F and cook for one hour.
-
16
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the pork cool.
-
17
Combine all of the dipping sauce ingredients in a bowl.
-
18
When you are ready to serve, cut into bite sized pieces and serve with the dipping sauce.
