  2. Rinse it with water several times, add flour and salt, and constantly rub the inside and outside of the pork belly. The yellow areas inside must be scraped clean, as these are bacterial and virus carriers. The pork belly I bought this time only had a very small part of it yellow, so I cut it off.

  7. Wash the pork belly and cut it into small strips, then wash it a few times. You will find that the water becomes clearer and clearer, and it will be ready after about three times.

If the pork belly is used for stir-frying, it is best to press it in a pressure cooker for a period of time before cutting it into strips; if it is to be stewed, this step is not required.
