Siu Yuk, Chinese Crispy Roast Pork Belly: Hong Kong Chachaanteng-style Cantonese pork, at home (烧肉) | Chinese Cooking Demystified

The ever popular Siu Yuk! Siu Yuk (a.k.a. Shaorou in Mandarin, Thit Heo Quay in Vietnamese) is a classic Cantonese dish that's made its way throughout Asia. It's a Chacaanteng roast meat staple, and a totally delicious dish.

Now, we're not reinventing the wheel here. The homecooking method for this dish in Guangdong consists of an overnight vinegar marinade for the skin, salt baking to firm up the fat, and an intense broil to make everything super crispy. It's a touch involved but not too difficult.

As always, the written recipe's over here on /r/cooking:
