Directions

  • Combine pork belly, garlic, bay leaves, salt, and pepper in a skillet; pour in enough water to cover. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer until skin is tender, 35 to 45 minutes. Drain and let sit at room temperature until pork has air-dried.

  • Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

  • Fry pork in the hot oil, working in batches, until golden brown, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove fried pork with a slotted spoon and drain on a paper towel-lined plate.

Editor's Note:

We have determined the nutritional value of oil for frying based on a retention value of 10% after cooking. The exact amount will vary depending on cooking time and temperature, ingredient density, and the specific type of oil used.

Instead of room temp, u can actually place it in the ref for about 30-1hr. When you fry it, it will be really crispy! This is one of the sinful yummy foods you'll ever taste Read More

Just made this. I loved the yummy aroma it made but was a little disappointed because it didn't turned as crispy as I expected it to be. The other commenter was right, I should've refrigerated first before frying. Also, the flavor was a bit bland. Had to add an extra dash of garlic salt and pepper after frying. Read More

This was good, but the oil popped a lot kinda scary. Made sauce vinegar and soy sauce with garlic. I will make this again. Guess I need to refrigerate longer Read More
