Notes
Pork belly is the traditional cut for this dish. Spare rib (bone-in belly) works just as well — just cut the bones away first.
Thinly sliced pork neck fillet is another option.
If you salt the meat 1 hour before cooking, the salt has time to work its way into the flesh. Worth doing if you can.
