Crispy Roast Pork Belly (Siu Yuk)

Cantonese-style roast pork belly with a shatteringly crisp, puffed crackling over juicy, five-spice-seasoned meat. The skin is pricked all over and dried uncovered overnight, roasted under a salt crust that draws out moisture, then the crust comes off and the skin is blasted under the broiler until it bubbles and crackles. Cut into bite-size pieces and served with mustard or hoisin.
