2. Wrap a baking tray with foil. Next, evenly poke holes into the skin of the pork belly, then score the meat of the pork belly.
3. Rub the blended marinade onto the meat of the pork belly evenly.
4. Place the pork belly on a wire rack on top of the baking tray with the meat facing down, and rub generous amount of salt on the skin.
Chill the meat in the fridge for at least 6 hours or preferably overnight, without wrapping the pork belly.
5. Pre-heat the oven to 200°C using the “4D Hot Air” function on the oven.
