Step 1

Combine the salt and sugar and completely cover the pork belly with the mixture. Refrigerate for 20 to 24 hours.

Step 2

Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F.

Step 3

Rinse the salt and sugar off the pork and transfer to a large pan. Add the carrots, celery, onions and garlic and cover with water. Cover the pan with foil or a tight-fitting lid and transfer to the oven until the pork is very tender, 13 to 15 hours.

Step 4

Gently remove the pork, place in between 2 pans and refrigerate for 12 hours.

Step 5

Cut the pork into 6-ounce portions and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Heat the oil in a saute pan and saute the pork skin-side down until crisp and hot.
