Ingredients:
1 kg boneless skin-on pork belly, cut in half
8 garlic gloves
2 bay leaves
1 tbsp black peppercorns
120 ml soy sauce
salt
Vegetable oil for frying
Rice vinegar for dipping sauce

Place pork belly, skin side down, in a large pot and add enough water to completely submerge meat. Add garlic, bay leaves, peppercorns, and soy sauce. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then lower heat and reduce to a simmer. Cover and cook until pork skin can be pierced with a knife with no resistance, about 1 hour. Transfer pork to a wire rack set in a rimmed baking sheet and season liberally with salt all over. Refrigerate pork until skin has completely dried, 6 hours or overnight.
Remove pork from refrigerator and cut into 2 cm slices.

Heat oil to 200 C. Working in batches, fry pork until deeply browned and skin has bubbled and crisped, 7 to 10 minutes. Transfer pork to a paper towel-lined plate and season with salt to taste. Serve immediately with vinegar for dipping.
