Pro Tips

#1

Scoring the pork belly helps the fat render and ensures the skin gets extra crispy.

#2

Poking holes in the pork skin is essential for achieving a crackling texture.

#3

Remove the tofu early to prevent it from drying out while the pork finishes crisping.

#4

Adjust the amount of chili peppers in the sauce to suit your heat preference.
