Which dialect is "Sio Bak" ? Why must you buy 2 kg of pork belly meat? Really not into skewering to roast better. Still all that ineffective dehydration techniques being religiously repeated. More poking, then Salt and sodium bicarbonate application and then rubbing off or washing.! Wow more of these procedures and I want to give up. If anyone following this recipe cannot get crunchy pork skin, try just frying the skin side in hot oil...That should definitely stop you from endless poking and salt and sodium bicarbonate application. Don't fry the whole lump, just half an inch of skin side in hot oil, that should guarantee the skin becomes crispy or crunchy..Then sit the skin side in a sieve to get rid of excess oil.

Excellent recipe with very reproducible steps. Made it twice successfully now! I didn't have the tool so made holes with a small but sharp knife extending past the epidermis. The only thing that I had to different was to extend the time on the top grill at 250 degc; certain aspects of the skin had not yet become golden and I suspect it was because the skin was not even. But still turned out incredibly well. Thank you Dr Tay!

[@ieatishootipost]

No, the charring is deliberate. That is what I learnt from some of the best Cantonese Roasters. It is the key to having a thin and crispy rind!

[@wnose]

Appreciate the tip with the skewers since I have an issue where parts of the skin don't crisp. Fold up some foil and slide it under the flesh if the skin is not even. I usually go low and slow @ 130C for an hour + (check internal temp), then take it out to rest for 20 minutes. The rest ensures that the fat doesn't render out during the broil. Then broil @ 220C until everything crisps. Watch carefully and rotate it, and there should be no charring. Worst case - if some parts don't crisp up, cut off that section and deep fry it, skin side down. America's Test Kitchen doesn't do a broil - they found that deep frying applies a more even heat across the skin. But I haven't tried it yet and I don't know if the results are the same.

[@kennethseah7370]

Suggest placing pieces of aluminum fold above the skin to shield area that is going to be over charred. Also cutting the roast upside down, i.e. skin side down on the chopping board to give a cleaner cut on the skin.

[@LeslieTay]

I actually want the top to be charred so that it can be scraped down. That is the trick to a super crispy skin. It is done at the roast shop as well. The skin side down is a good idea.

[@minkuan5194]

Dear Dr. Tay, I started to marinated a piece of pork belly 2 days ago, and roasted it earlier today. Everything turned out beautifully; skin was thin and crispy, skin color was beautiful, meat was jicy, and taste was flavorful. However, the skin turned out to be a little bit salty. I wonder if it was because the salt I sprinkled on the skin was too fine (eg. < 2mm), or because I left the pork belly drying in the fridge for too long (ie. > 1 day)?

[@ieatishootipost]

Did you char the skin and scrap it off?

[@yourvancouverhome]

@@ieatishootipost Thank you for replying, Dr. Tay. I did char and scrap the skin. The skin ended up thin and cruchy. Viewing your video again, i think my problem was i didnt sweep off the salt before applying some vinegar on the skin. Melted salt must have flown into the skin through the small perforations we made. So, even scrapping the charred skin was not enough to make it less salty. Of course this is just my guess. I will give it another try in a few weeks and leave my feedback here. Nevertheless, I think you have the most perfect recipe. Thanks, Doctor! 👍👍👏👏

[@lannguyen3793]

👍❤️

[@lai-hangrose-line9539]

your recipe is very good. Nevertheless I have 2 questions : Once i baked it 4 hours before lunch and it was very less crunchy, what to do? and what to do to have the skin less salty, if i put much less salt on the skin, will it be crunchy even though? Thanks in advance for your answers.

[@LeslieTay]

You can reheat it again in the oven at 160 for 10 mins and that should crisp up the skin. You can lessen the salt on the skin if you find it too salty

appreciate the method of making sio bak...ive make it and the result was good, just one problem, why are most part of skin seperated from the meat, is it my pork belly problem?

[@ieatishootipost]

Likely you did not poke deeply enough. You need to poke deep so that the bubble between the skin and the meat does not have a chance to develop.

[@lai-hangrose-line9539]

can it be frozen once done and make it crispy again? I'd like to bake a piece of siou-yok for my son who lives in France.Thanks for your return.

[@benny4668]

Send the link to him. Why all the hassle?

[@mojo0903]

Doc, the skin can be better if you try another technique. I call it the keropok theory. Put the pork in at 100 Deg C for 3-4 hours to dehydrate the skin. No need to marinate overnight in fridge. The skin will have to achieve that translucent hard plasticky state like a dried keropok. 100 Deg is water boiling temperature, but not hot enough for the fats to melt. At the same time, it is like a dry sous vide so the meat remains tender and soft. You then finish off with 45 mins at 220 Deg so the fat beneath the skin turns to oil and fry the skin from beneath. You will get expansion of the skin like a keropok being fried, so the skin will pop more, giving it an airier texture and more crunch, without burning and giving it a bitter taste layer. The meat will be tender and juicy even though it has been in an oven for 4 hours. Try it.

[@LeslieTay]

Thanks for sharing. Will try it. I assume you marinade the pork? How about boiling and pricking the skin?

[@mojo0903]

@@LeslieTay I do marinade, with a simple salt and pepper base. Sometimes I add angmoh herbs for Christmas, or 5spice for CNY. I don't boil the pork but I do prick to prevent underskin bubbling. Tried all the scoring and vinegar wash before but realise it doesn't work as well as in-oven dehydration at low temp to achieve crackling. The science is temperature control to slow-cook the meat at low temp and concurrent drying of skin, followed by high temp melting of fats to oil and frying the skin with the fats. Flavouring depends on recipe.

[@LeslieTay]

@@mojo0903 How long do you marinade the pork?

[@mojo0903]

@@LeslieTay to be honest I didn't do the overnight marinate thing cos my fridge is small and I usually do a 3kg piece, and I don't like the idea of raw thawed meat sitting around for too long. About an hour is good enough as the pork continues to marinate at low temp in the oven, so the salt and pepper does penetrate the meat while slowly sitting at 100 Deg

[@mojo0903]

So once the meat is thawed and still cold, I do the rub, then pop it into the oven and let it sit there for 3 to 5 hours, checking the skin for readiness to up the heat. Sometimes 5 to 6 hours, just in time to take out and put in my turkey for a 3 hour roast for dinner.

[@kumalasarisugandha6050]

In my country there is no shop selling oven with grill mode. What should I do to replace grill process.

[@ieatishootipost]

The skin will start blistering when the temperature hits 220C. So you can crank your oven up as high as you can. Alternatively, you can heat up some oil on a flat pan and deep fry the skin side. But it will splatter a lot.

[@thuygaudin1039]

​@ieatishootipost Hi, thanks a million for sharing your technique for a super crispy roast pork belly. I followed your recipe to the T and it was a huge hit. Wish to confirm that if frying skin n instead of broiling, do NOT deep-fry Use oil up to skin only and fry on low heat. Very slow heat, until done. Hope this helps those who cannot use broil.

[@nehcninakred]

hi I am making sio bak in a few days time - why is that some parts of the skin (especially at depressed parts of the skin) are not blistered/crispy? Is there a quick fix if there are some non crispy parts after roasting?

[@ieatishootipost]

You need to keep the skin as flat as you can. The rest is due to your oven's ability to heat evenly. You might want to try to shift your pork around during the final grilling stage to ensure that you get all the hot spots.

[@Nerd2k7]

Just for anyone who is sane, don't place the rack in the middle when doing the last broiling step. Place it on the lowest position in the oven and keep an eye on the pork. No burnt pieces just a nice crust.

[@ieatishootipost]

The key is to char the crust and then scrape it down so that it is thinner. You can do it anyway you want of course.

I tried your recipe again and i always got the skin sticky to the teeth, can U help? Maybe i make wrong when i poke the skin, not enough deep ? How to know the skin will be crunchy and no sticky?. Thanks Sir for your advice.

[@ieatishootipost]

Its sticky when the skin doesn't pop properly. It is probably because your oven is not hot enough and the heat is not even. You need to move the roast pork around the oven during the blistering process.

How many is that belly u used?

[@ieatishootipost]

[@captaincommonsense]

i found that just a slight bit of char imparted a strong bitterness to the meat, unsure if this is truly the right method. Also, the fat developed a sticky, gummy texture which was not for everyone.

[@ieatishootipost]

Its something I learnt from the roast masters. The fat is not supposed to develop a sticky texture. You may be referring to the skin? If that is the case, then it is because of uneven roasting which happens with some ovens. I do get it sometimes.

[@rosaliasoh7702]

How far in advance can I prepare this ?

You can marinate the pork 3 days in advance. If you roast it, you can keep in the fridge for up to 4 days and reheat when you are ready to serve.
