Notes

Here are a few tips to help prepare the pork belly:
  • Freeze the meat for 15 minutes before cutting. Slice the pork belly in sections and leave the meat you are not working on in the freezer, so it is easier to cut.
  • Sharpen your knife before cutting the pork belly
  • Have the skin facing down, so it is easier to cut
