Chinese Crispy Pork Belly 脆皮燒肉
Success guaranteed with the cooking under a crust of salt
This pork dish can be found in most Chinese rotisseries. But it is uneasy to do at home until you know the preparation techniques that I will show you in my recipe. The difficulty is to succeed at the same time two things:
1) a meat not too baked but juicy and perfumed,
2) a rind easy to eat and very crispy.
The techniques I present you in my recipe are simple and easy to implement. For example, I opted for the cooking in crust of salt that I borrowed from the French cuisine. Contrary to what one would think, the meat will not be too salty at all.
Enjoy eating the rind and the meat at the same time. Bon appétit.
