4. The pork belly is a bit big, so in order to make it easier to cook, I split the pork belly in half halfway through. After the water is boiled, skim off the froth and cook on low heat for about half an hour

15. Heat the oil in a flat-bottomed non-stick pan. Place the pork belly with the skin facing down. The oil will collapse during the frying process. Cover the pan to prevent it from being splashed by the hot oil.
