Ingredients

• 3 lb piece boneless pork belly, skin scored

• 2 tablespoons kosher salt

• 2 tablespoons sugar

• 3 tablespoons olive oil

Method

Season pork belly with salt, sugar, chili and a few grinds of black pepper. Cover and refrigerate overnight.

Preheat oven to 450°.

Roast pork belly for 30 minutes, fat side up. Reduce heat to 275° and roast for an hour or more, until tender but not mushy. Remove from oven and let cool to room temperature.

Once chilled, slice into thick pieces and brown in a small amount of oil for crispness. For ramen, heat the pork belly up in desired stock. Enjoy!
