Once a week I visit wet market for meat supply. That day I have no plan
to make roasted pork. After placing order for lean meat the butcher asked
whether want this slab of three layers pork. I'm so attracted by the nicely
layered pork. Without much consideration I bought it straight away. I knew I am
going to attempt roasted pork for 2nd time. This time I documented and
share.
My pork belly portion is small. It doesn't
matter as I meant to roast for one day consumption. The result is better than
the 1st time. Roasting smaller portion pork means less lard
splatting inside oven and easy oven cleaning too. My family loves the roasted
pork including myself. I can't stop myself eating the roasted pork while
chopping it :p
1. Prick the blanched pork skin with needles (I bought these type of needles from kitchenware store)
2. Make few cuts underneath for more flavour after the marination
|
Slightly lined the side with extended aluminium foil to ease the cleaning process |
1. Almost end of roasting time (after 25 minutes in oven).
2. Half way of grilling in oven.
|
Cooling on rack before cut |
Cutting with skin facing down. |

Chinese Roasted Pork 脆皮烧肉
Ingredients:
500g pork belly, skin on with no bones
1 tablespoon salt
~bottom marinate
1 teaspoon oyster sauce
1 teaspoon pepper
1 teaspoon 5 spice powder
3 gloves garlic (smashed to a paste)
*mix together and set aside
~brush on pork
Some rice vinegar
Method:
1. Bring a pot of water to boil. Add in pork belly and blanch for few
seconds, drained. With kitchen towel wipe the pork belly dry.
2. Prick holes all over pork skin with needles or something similar as
much as you can. Make few cuts under belly with sharp knife to ease the marinate
ingredients penetrate further and lead to more flavour.
3. Add salt to pork belly, rub on both skin and meat surface.
4. Apply bottom marinate ONLY underbelly (NOT SKIN). Massage evenly on
the meat surface.
5. Wrap the pork belly with aluminium foil, skin facing up. Brush the
skin with vinegar.
6. Place the pork into fridge, skin side up uncovered for 1-2 days. This
will help the skin dry up.
7. Remove the foil from the marinated pork and leave it to reach at room
temperature.
8. Preheat oven at 200C. Place the pork on roasting rack with a pan
underneath. Roast the pork for about 25 minutes.
*I slightly ‘lined’ my oven side with extended aluminium foil
9. Remove the pork from oven, and turn up the temperature to 250C (grill
or top heat only).
10. Return pork to oven and bake for another 25 minutes or until the skin is slightly charred.
11. Leave it cool down before chopping.
* I found chopping with skin facing down is much easier.
Delicious. I made roast pork last night as well. I love the crispy skin!

Hi Vivian, I made Babi Guling [Balinese Roast Pork] yesterday. The skin was so crispy that I can hear the crackling sound as chopped it and while eating too. However, I still prefer this Chinese style flavour and taste. Next time, I'll try this marinade of yours.
ReplyDelete这个叫人怎样拒绝得了。。。
ReplyDeleteI am going to try it soon, tq for sharing.
ReplyDeleteOh, my favourite pork dish! The skin looks so crunchy and crispy. Lovely!
ReplyDeleteHi Vivian, my mom sells this kind of pork roast. She usually brush vinegar and rice wine after the pork's skin is slightly roasted, this way can help the skin to be crispy. And after the pork is roasted, she brushes it with her sweet soya sauce mix (she adds other ingredients), and roast them again untul the sauce is seeped into the meat. This is the way we cook the roast pork in my area, it's yummy! We eat it along with our homemade chilli garlic sauce
ReplyDeleteWow Vivian, I can see your roast pork skin is so crispy. Love it!
