INGREDIENTS
.5 kilo Pork Belly Slab
1 bulb ginger
3 dried bay leaves
6 cloves garlic (pounded)
1 large onion (quartered)
1 tablespoon whole peppercorns
2 tablespoon salt
vinegar (for the skin)
some salt (for the skin)

Directions:

Wash and prepare the pork belly slab. Score the lean part of the meat both horizontal and vertical to cook it faster for later. Set aside.
In a pot, add the slices of ginger, pounded garlic, onions, bayleaves and peppercorns. Place the slab of pork belly on top of the aromatics. Add enough water to cover the pork. Sprinkle the salt. Cover the pot and allow it to cook for a few minutes.
After a few minutes, remove the white foam which will rise on top. Continue simmering until the pork is completely tender. You may flip the slab of pork from time to time to make sure that both sides cook evenly.
Do the fork test to check if the pork is tender. Remove it from the pan and transfer to a cooling rack. Let it completely cool down.
Poke the skin using a set of toothpicks. You can also do this with a steel fork. Wipe the skin dry before brushing it with vinegar. Sprinkle a little salt and rub the skin gently. Air dry the pork for at least 2 hours or refrigerate it overnight to dry.
Pre-heat your air fryer. Place the pork slab inside and air fry for 20 minutes at 200 C. Alternatively, you can deep fry the pork slab until golden brown and crispy.
After 20 minutes, transfer the crispy pork belly to a serving plate. You may either serve it whole or slice it to serving pieces first.
Either papak or enjoy the crispy pork belly with rice. Dont forget your special vinegar dipping sauce (or any sauce you like). Yum!
