Right, I'm trying to recreate a Korean pork belly burger I love at my local cafe... I know enough about Korean food to get the sauce, garnishes close but I've never actually cooked pork belly before.
I've got a slab or pork belly, and in the burger it has a crispy skin and is sliced thinly. Is this a roasting job? And how does pork belly cook in the oven *? Is there a risk of it drying out?
* It can be marinated beforehand, I'd use soy, sesame oil, ginger and garlic as the base, maybe with a touch of miso.
Cook it low and slow and shouldn’t dry out. Plenty of fat content. You could put some liquid in and cover it to start with and then uncover towards the end of the roast to crisp up the skin
