In a bowl, mix salt, garlic salt, onion powder, Italian seasoning, black pepper powder, cumin powder, smoked paprika, five-spice powder, and brown sugar together.
Step 2
Carve the pork belly horizontally and vertically. The cuts should be about ½-inch into the meat.
Step 3
Apply the dry rub evenly onto the pork belly. Remember, do not apply it to the pork belly skin.
Step 4
Fold a foil packet to wrap up the seasoned pork belly. Make sure the skin side is facing up.
Step 5
Apply a layer of white vinegar and a pinch of salt. The white vinegar can help remove extra water from the meat.
Step 6
Bake in the oven at a low temperature (200°F–220°F/90°C–110°C) for 1 hour to dry the skin. This way, the skin is crispy.

Step 8
Take dish out of the oven and let cool before cutting into small pieces.
