Ingredients

  • 1.3 kg pork belly for the thin end
  • tsp five spice powder chinese
  • tbsp soya sauce (we used Kikkoman)
  • small knob ginger fresh grated
  • tbsp chilli sauce sweet
  •  spring onion finely chopped

Equipment

  • oven

Directions

  1. Rub the pork with the five-spice and 2 tsp sea salt then leave, uncovered, in the fridge for at least 2 hrs, but preferably overnight. When ready to cook, heat oven to its maximum setting.
  2. Lay the pork on a rack over a roasting tin, making sure the skin is exposed. Roast for 10 mins before turning down the heat to 180C/fan 160C/gas 4, then leave to cook for a further 1 hrs. Have a look at the pork if the skin isnt crisp, turn up the heat to 220C/fan 200C/gas 7, then cook for another 30 mins until crisp. Leave to rest on a board for at least 10 mins.
  3. To make the dipping sauce, mix all the ingredients together with 2 tbsp water.
  4. Cut the pork into small pieces, then serve with the sauce, plus boiled rice and steamed greens, if you like.
