Ingredients:

• 2 lbs pork belly
• 2 tbsp soy sauce
• 2 tbsp hoisin sauce
• 1 tbsp oyster sauce
• 1 tbsp Chinese cooking wine
• 1 tbsp sugar
• 1 tsp five spice powder
• 1 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp white pepper
• 1/2 tsp sesame oil

Instructions:

1. Start by scoring the skin of the pork belly with a sharp knife. Be sure not to cut into the meat, but enough to allow the fat to render and the skin to crisp up.
2. In a small bowl, mix together the soy sauce, hoisin sauce, oyster sauce, Chinese cooking wine, sugar, five spice powder, salt, white pepper, and sesame oil. This will be your marinade.
3. Rub the marinade all over the pork belly, making sure to get it into the scores on the skin. Let the pork belly marinate for at least 2 hours, or overnight for best results.
4. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Place the pork belly on a wire rack set over a baking tray, skin side up. This will allow the fat to render off and the skin to crisp up.
5. Roast the pork belly in the oven for about 40-50 minutes, or until the skin is crispy and the meat is cooked through. If the skin is not crispy enough, you can finish it off under the broiler for a few minutes.
6. Once the pork belly is cooked, let it rest for a few minutes before slicing it into bite-sized pieces. Serve hot with steamed rice and your favorite vegetables.
7. Enjoy your homemade Cantonese Roast Pork Belly! The crispy skin and succulent meat will have you coming back for more.
