Score the top layer of the pork belly skin with a pen knife diagonally leaving 0.5cm gap in between.
Spread some salt over the skin and leave in fridge overnight to dry the skin.
Preheat oven to 360F or 180C and place the pork belly on a piece of foil and wrap around the pork belly leaving the skin part exposed and bake for 1 hour.
