Here are some tips on how I achieve crispy heo quay (roasted pork belly) that will hopefully help you!
1. Blanch the pork belly for about 5min before removing and placing in an ice bath
2. Poke a bunch of holes into the pork belly skin
3. Season the meat side to preference. I used salt, pepper, garlic powder, and chinese 5 spice
4. Sprinkle salt onto the skin side, let sit for about 20min
5. Wipe away any excess moisture on the skin. Brush on white vinegar and let rest overnight in the fridge. TIP! Create a “boat” that wraps the pork belly out of aluminum foil
6. Bake at 350 for about 30-35min. TIP! I place the pork belly wrapped with aluminum foil on a baking rack placed on a baking tray that I fill with water. This helps reduce the likelihood of burning.
7. Remove from the oven and poke more holes. Be sure to wipe away the excess moisture
8. Raise the heat to 375 and bake till the skin crisps up.
