Filipino Lechon Kawali (Crispy Pork Belly)

Filipino crispy pork belly: a slab of pork belly simmered with peppercorns, bay leaves and salt until tender, dried and salted, then fried until the skin puffs into shattering crackling over juicy, tender meat. It's chopped into chunks and served with a sharp garlicky vinegar-soy dip and steamed rice.
