Recipe - Roast Pork (Siew Yok)

This is a really simple recipe, you basically need nice cuts of pork belly with skin, the part with bones are the best. Simply wash the meat, optionally I like to rub the meat with a little bit of chinese cooking wine and let it sit for a few minutes.

Then mix five spices powder and fine salt together, I use about 3/4 tablespoons of five spice and 1 1/4 tablespoons of salt. Its really up to your taste, just rub them on the bottom part of the pork belly and place them a rack.

Then cover the top part of the skins with coarse salt and all you need to do now is roast it! Heat up the oven to about 150-170 degrees and put the meat in for about 15-20 minutes. Oh ya, make sure you put a tray at the bottom of the rack to catch all the oil that's gonna flow down.

You will notice that the salt becomes harden like crystal, then take the meat out and remove the salt, just use a spoon or knife to rub them off. Once that is done, put it back to the oven at low heat, I did it at less than 100 degrees for about 10-15 minutes until the skin are crispy.



Then chop them up hot and serve :)
