Pork Belly image

I buy meat from an Asian butcher in Northbridge, Perth, where I am usually the only non-Asian. I've seen many Asian women buying lots of pork belly slabs, so I bought one & searched for a recipe. This one is from an Aussie site. The original recipe called for no bones with skin. I used a pork belly with bones & it worked well.
