Just sharing some of the food that I cook in me and my family's home-cooking journey...

 

To kick things off, thought I would go with my family & friend famous roast pork meant for special occasions and upon special requests only..

 

Takes me about 18 hours to finish, including the waiting & cooking times... I like the fresh pork belly from the butcher's because frozen pork tends to have a slight acrid aftertaste after you keep it overnight. Cost is higher, but the taste is much better in my opinion.

 

Hey, only the best for my loved ones right?

 

We start with cleaning the roast pork followed by a quick brine it.. this is how it looks like after the brine...

Then we go through a second process of marinating it overnight with the spices and seasonings... this is how it looks like after the overnight marination process...

We proceed to pierce holes using either an ice-pick or the "skin-poker" tool - depending on the thickness of the skin - and then do the salt-bake process... This is before we pop it into the oven for the salt bake...

... this is what it looks like after the salt bake... and after we scrape off the salt before returning it into the oven for a second bake...

We return the pork into the oven for a final bake, rotating it every 45 minutes and wiping off excess fat that oozes from the top...
