Cooking instructions

* Step 1

Brine the pork for 2 hours or more.

* Step 2

Discard brine water. Boil in a pot with peppercorns, salt, patis, a bit or soy sauce and bay leaves for 1 hour.

* Step 3

Discard boiled water. Leave the pork to dry overnight in the fridge, uncovered or a few hours on the counter if you're in a hurry. Make sure it is completely dry before AFing. Pat dry if moist.

* Step 4

If from the fridge, prick the skin of pork with a fork. Leave a few minutes to get to room temperature. Pat dry if moist.

* Step 5

Salt the sides and around. Then on the skin top with rock salt to make it pop in the AF. (Equals crunchy skin) Pre-heat the AF for 5 minutes.

* Step 6

Cook pork belly at 170-175•C for 20 minutes. You can move it around or flip half way of the 20.

* Step 7

Adjust setting to 200•C and cook for 10-15 minutes or as needed, with the skin side near the heating element. You can stop and check by tapping lightly on the skin with a knife to check crispness. Continue if some areas are still soft.

* Step 8

When done, remove and rest on a wire rack for 10-15 minutes before cutting.

* Step 9

Cut into bricks and serve with a lemon-soysauce-chili dip or sarsa (drippings) gravy. Enjoy with hot rice or a veggie siding. Plate below is already missing a couple slices LOL...
