What Is Pork Belly?<\/h2>\r\nAs the name suggests, pork belly comes from a pig's belly where there's a thick layer of fat between the meat and skin. The same cut of pork<\/a>, with the skin removed, is used to make bacon. When roasted slowly, pork belly meat becomes incredibly tender while the skin crisps and browns into cracklings. It's a favorite dish in Latin American, Asian and other global cuisines.\r\n\r\nOur recipe infuses the meat with soy sauce, rice wine, garlic and five-spice powder<\/a>. Serve sliced pork belly with rice or homemade ramen<\/a>, or with traditional Japanese recipes<\/a> such as miso soup. Roasted potatoes and steamed or stir-fried veggies are also good side dishes to pair with pork belly. It's also a tasty way to upgrade instant ramen noodles<\/a>.\r\n

How to Make Super Crispy Pork Belly<\/h2>\r\nThis recipe makes 12 servings. Allow time for the meat to marinate for 8 hours or overnight.\r\n
