Roast Pork Belly (Siu Yuk)

Schritte8

1. 1

   Schritt 1. Poke and slit the pork

   Poke holes into the skin of the pork belly, puncturing through the fat but not the meat. Slice slits on the meat side without cutting all the way through.

   If you puncture through the meat, moisture will come out and prevent the skin from becoming crispy.
