  • Fry pork belly squares in batches until golden brown, about 5 minutes. Drain on paper towels.

  • Fry pork belly squares in batches a second time until skin "pops," 30 seconds to 1 minute. Drain on fresh paper towels.

Cook's Note:

These can be put in the refrigerator and reheated in the oven at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) until sizzling.

Editor's Note:

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