Crispy pork belly has a different name and unique method of cooking depending on the culture, but here I’m preparing it the Hmong way with sticky rice and a side of hot pepper sauce.
Boil a 2 ½-pound slab of pork belly on for 15 minutes, then remove and poke the skin all over with a skewer. Season with salt or your seasonings of choice and use your hands to spread it all around. Wrap the bottom and sides of the pork belly with aluminum foil to help keep it moist, then thoroughly dry the skin with a paper towel. Brush with vinegar and bake at 375°F for about 1 hour and 45 minutes. Check it often and cover the top with foil if the skin starts to bubble.
Then, brush with more vinegar and broil at 500°F for several minutes until the skin is bubbly and crispy. Slice and serve. Enjoy!

The skin is the best part! It's like a chip

My family is Taidam similar to Hmong culture. My parents came from Laos and I grew up eating this as an Asian American. Pork belly, sticky rice, and pepper sauce 😋

It’s cool how every culture has their own version of this. Where I’m from(Louisiana) we call this cracklin

I'm from Laos, this is EXACTLY how we enjoy crispy pork belly.

It's also important to note which level rack you should use when it's in the oven. The first time I made this, I broiled it at the top rack without thinking and it burnt to a crisp. Always broil at the bottom rack, even if it's for a few mins.

I made this. First recipe I've ever made from a short. Be careful not to burn it with the grill/broil setting. Watch it like a hawk, maybe even with the oven open. The pork came out well and the crackling that wasn't burnt came out better than the recipes with oil. Definitely would recommend adding spices because the pork was pretty tasteless. Definitely make a few sauces/ dips.

Yaaas! Omg Hmong pork is so delicious! And you made it crispy too? Most Hmong places I’ve been to rarely have crispy skin.
