2 weeks back, I embarked on my first trial of Roasted Pork.
Yes, I'm a HUGE fan of this Chinese delicacy, especially since the skin is 'oh-so-crunchy'!
Since it'll usually take eons with a an oven, or so I've read, I'm more than happy to know that my Happy Call Pan can cook this in a MUCH SHORTER TIME!
I'm so in love with my Happy Call Pan that I've actually dedicated more time to cooking as it's my way of relieving stress.
I spent about $8 for 4 slabs of pork bellies + $2 for the 5 spice powder (enough supply for many many times of roasted pork!)
This dish takes 30 minutes to prepare, at least an hour to marinate and 30 minutes to cook.

It's not that difficult to cook this dish or to prepare it but I guess it does take some skill and practice to perfect this dish.
Roasted Pork Recipe
Ingredients:
4 slabs of pork belly (I got mine from NTUC and Shop and Save)
However, if time permits, get it from the wet market butcher as you can get a larger slab of meat. These were too skinny and I had a tough time balancing them on the skin! My 2nd batch were made with a larger slab of meat I had the NTUC butcher chop for me (: More costly though!
MARINATE
3 tbsp of 5 spice powder
2 tbsp of white pepper
2 tbsp of salt
2 tbsp of salt for the skin
1 tsp of salt for boiling the meat
1 tbsp of olive oil or another other oil for frying
