Cuisine Filipino
Servings 6 servings

Ingredients
 
 

  • 1 kg pork belly cut into 2-3 inch (5 cm) square pieces
  • 125 ml Silver Swan soy sauce
  • 125 ml vinegar
  • 125 ml water
  • 3-4 pcs dried bay leaves
  • 1 head of garlic slightly crushed
  • 1 teaspoon whole peppercorns
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar

Instructions
 

  • Gather all your ingredients and place them into a pot, making sure the belly meat is facing down, with the skin-side up.
  • Over low heat, simmer everything for about half an hour, and keep the pot covered.
  • After the initial 30 minutes, flip the meat over to one of the uncooked sides once every 30 minutes, to ensure all sides are well browned.
  • After an hour and a half, turn off the heat and uncover the pot, making sure the skin side is facing up. Let it sit for a few hours, allowing for the skin to dry out naturally.
  • Next, move the pork belly pieces to a baking dish, ensuring the skin side is facing up so that it doesn't absorb the juices that will form while baking.
  • Remember to save the adobo sauce from earlier for serving.
  • Bake those pork belly pieces in a preheated oven at 375 °F/190 °C for 10-15 minutes.
  • Next, switch to broil to get that crispy skin, but keep a close eye to prevent burning.
  • Once it's perfectly crispy, remove the pork belly from the oven.
  • Reheat the adobo sauce you saved earlier.
  • Finally, serve your delicious crispy pork belly on a bed of white rice, generously smothered with that delicious adobo sauce.

Enjoy!
