FIVE-SPICE ROAST PORK BELLY
Hmmmm...pork belly - something unctuous & yum for the last of winter. Interestingly, it looks very easy to put together. I plan to serve with Chinese broccoli & oyster sauce & steamed rice. From Food and Drink - a weekly guide to enjoying eating from Tribune. Note: Adapted from "Essentials of Asian Cuisine" by Corinne Trang Time does not include 4 hours marinating time - I plan to marinate overnight. Update - made this for the night before Christmas - the skin was crispy & the meat tender, with just enough five spice to make it delicious! Served with Recipe#146661 - a winning combination! Try it, you will like it!

Steps:
- Make the marinade by mixing the soy sauce, sugar and five-spice powder in a bowl until the sugar is completely dissolved. Stir in the sesame oil.
- Place the pork belly in a sealable plastic bag and pour the marinade over it. Marinate in the refrigerator for 4 hours, turning occasionally.
- Heat the oven to 450 degrees. Pierce holes every inch through the pork skin with a metal skewer. Place it skin side up on a rack set over a baking dish, containing about one-half inch of water.
- Roast until dark golden and crispy, about 1 hour, basting the top (skin) side with the soy sauce mixture every 15 minutes.
- Remove from the oven and let rest for 15 minutes before slicing. Thinly slice lengthwise with a serrated knife.
