Crispy Roasted Pork

Overview

Roasted pork is an irresistible delicacy. It is equally delicious whether served with rice, stir-fried or eaten plain. There are two types of roasted pork: [Cantonese style or Hong Kong style] roasted pork. In Shanghai, you can only eat it in some Hong Kong style tea restaurants, and it is almost impossible to find it in ordinary places. Whenever I miss eating, I can only eat it in tea restaurants. You could buy authentic roasted pork everywhere in your hometown since you were a kid, so I didn’t particularly want to eat it before. But it’s almost hard to find it in China, so if you want to eat it, just make it yourself. . It is not difficult to make roasted pork at home. When marinating the roasted pork, you can marinate it overnight or for 2 hours. I bought the meat early in the morning and started cooking it, marinated it for 9 hours, and then baked it in the oven near dinner time. When roasting, the skin of the meat will make a "pop" sound like setting off "firecrackers", so you must insert a fork into many small holes when handling the skin of the meat. This step is to prevent the air from flowing out of the skin of the meat during roasting, so that the roasted pork skin will not be flat, and there will be a ball of meat skin bulging in a certain area. The skin of the meat will crack when you cut it in this way, and the crispy skin of the meat will be separated from the layer of fat on the surface and you won't be able to eat the skin of the meat. When eating, dip it in your favorite sauce, such as mustard, sour plum sauce, chili sauce, Tabasco, etc. They don't use sauce in my hometown, so I'm used to it. In fact, it is really simple to make, it just takes time to marinate it; friends who like to eat roasted meat can try making it at home.

Ingredients

Steps

1. 1 Choose pork belly that is thicker but not too fatty.

   

2. 2 Wash and put into a pot of cold water.

   

3. 3 I use an induction cooker and use the hot pot program to cook over medium heat until 7 degrees done.

   

4. 4 After cooking, put it in cold water to cool.

   

5. 5 After cooling, take it out and absorb the excess water with kitchen paper.

   

6. 6 After sucking it dry, insert a fork into the meat skin and make as many small holes as possible; the entire piece of meat skin must be inserted.

   

7. 7 When inserting the small hole, be sure not to damage the skin, just insert it from the surface.

   

8. 8 Turn over the meat side and cut the meat, stop when it is almost close to the fat.

   

9. 9 After cutting, apply five-spice powder on the gap between the meat and the left and right sides. Do not apply five-spice powder on the skin of the meat, otherwise the color will not look good when grilled.

   

10. 10 After the five-spice powder is applied, apply an appropriate amount of salt into the gaps, surface and sides of the meat.

    

11. 11 Turn over to the skin side and remove a little baking soda; be sure not to use too much or it will affect the taste. Sprinkle onto skin.

    

12. 12 Apply baking soda evenly to the surface of the meat skin with your hands to make the meat skin crispier.

    

13. 13 After basting, insert a bamboo skewer on one side of the meat. It must be inserted in the middle of the meat to prevent the meat from rolling up during roasting.

    

14. 14 Place meat side down on a piece of foil.

    

15. 15 Surround with foil and refrigerate for 1-2 hours. If you want to refrigerate it overnight, you can do it. I marinated it from the morning and baked it at dinner time.

    

16. 16 Bring to room temperature 30 minutes before baking. Preheat the oven to 230 degrees and bake on the middle rack. Just use [High Heat] to bake; the time is 30-40 minutes. The temperature and time must be adjusted according to each oven.

    

17. 17 After the first 30-40 minutes of roasting, take out the pork. At this time, the skin will be a little burnt and can be scraped off with a table knife. The oven continued to heat for 10 minutes and the temperature was still 230 degrees.

    

18. 18 After scraping, brush a thin layer of oil on the skin of the meat, then continue to bake in the oven for 10 minutes, and bake at 230 degrees.

    

19. 19 After baking, let it cool down before cutting into pieces and eating.
