Ingredients:

2 lb Pork belly, skin on
1 can Beer
1 tbsp Red Wine
1 large Fresh Lemon
1 tbsp Soy Sauce
1 tbsp Salt
1 tbsp Chinese five-spice powder
1 tbsp Bown Sugar
1 Salt Black Pepper

Directions:

Step 1

Place the meat skin side down, slice the meat about half an inch deep and half an inch apart from one end to the other. Then, do the same cut perpendicular to the previous cuts. This will form a small diamond pattern.

Step 2

Squeeze lemon juice on both sides and then rub red wine on the meat side with diamond pattern.

Step 3

In a small cup, combine Chinese five-spice powder, salt, brown sugar, and black pepper. Rub the spice mixture on the sides as well.

Step 4

Prick the pork skin evenly with a skin pricker. Then, brush cooking oil on the skin. Marinate for 2 hours.

Step 5

Add a can of beer into a baking pan. Place a wire rack on top of the baking pan, and put the pork skin side up on the rack. Bake at 350°F-400°F (180-200°C) in a grill with the lid closed for 90 min.

Step 6

Cut the pork belly into bite sizes and serve.
