Crispy Pork Belly

Crispy pork belly is a very common ingredient in Thai cuisine. Usually, it is deep-fried and sometimes the marinade includes sugar. Therefore I perfected a method that uses the oven and doesn't require overnight marinating. I'm really a fan of this kind of crispy pork belly I hope you enjoy it!

I use skinless pork belly. You can leave the skin on if you prefer. With this recipe it still crisps up perfectly even without skin.

Preparation

Instructions

  1. Pre heat the oven to 180°C/350°F.
  2. Rub the pork belly with seasoning. 
  3. Place the pork belly skin side up on a double-layer backing tray (or use a waterbed container) and cover it completely with kosher salt. Press the salt down a bit to keep it in place.
  4. Fill the bottom (or the water bath container) with water. There will be grease dripping in the water bath.
  5. Place the pork belly in the oven for 40 minutes. 
  6. Remove the pork belly (and the water bath) from the oven.
  7. Increase the temperature to 240°C/465°F.
  8. Remove the salt crust from the pork belly. The pork is greasy and hot, make sure you don't burn yourself.
  9. Remove the water from the water bath. Place the pork and the empty water bath back into the oven. There will be grease dripping in the water bath. Leave it in the oven for 15 minutes or until golden and crispy. Time can very depending on your oven and on the size of your pork belly. Let the pork belly rest a few minutes before cutting and serving.
