Cooking Tips

Make sure to score the skin of the pork belly properly to allow the fat to render and the skin to crisp up.
For extra crispy crackling, you can pour boiling water over the scored skin before rubbing it with salt.
Letting the pork belly rest after roasting allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender and flavorful meat.

Storage and Serving

Leftover roast pork belly can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
To reheat, place the pork belly in a preheated oven at 180掳C (350掳F) for about 15 minutes, or until heated through.
Serve the roast pork belly as a main dish with roasted vegetables and mashed potatoes, or slice it thinly and use it in sandwiches or salads.
