I have received a couple of emails from my friends, asking me to translate this recipe into English, so here it is

BBQ PorkThis is very quick and easy to make.
Ingredients:- 1 piece of pork belly, around 1.2-1.5 kg (see below for meat selection tips)
- 4 teaspoons of the spicy mix (the big red box posted in this thread). You can get it from any Chinese/Vietnamese grocery stores.
- 1/2 cup white wine.
Instruction:- Wash the meat with salt. Use napkins to dry.
- Marinate meat with white wine, and then leave in the fridge for around an hour.
- Dry meat with napkin.
- Sprinkle spicy mix over meat (including skin), rub it into the meat a few times to add more flavor.
- Leave marinated meat in the fridge (not freezer), flat, skin up, uncover, for 2 days.
- Pre-heat oven 450oF (or 232oC), put meat in the baking tray, and put in the middle of the oven.
- Cook for 1 hour, then turn oven to “Broil” so the skin can be nice and crispy. Important: it only takes about 5-10 minute for have the skin done, so you have to keep an eye on it. Once done, turn off oven, take the meat out.
It is no longer a piece of pork belly, this is now BBQ pork

Tips:
Meat selection: I selected pork belly with less fat last time, but will go for meat that is closer to lean next time, of course with the skin. If this is the first time you make BBQ pork and don’t mind a little bit of fat then go for the pork belly. Select the piece that’s thick evenly, so it can be cooked evenly.
