Description
A wonderful treatment turns an inexpensive cut of meat into an oriental feast, with the best crackling ever.
Method
Step 1 of 4
With a sharp knife, make criss-cross slits all over the skin of the pork, being careful not to cut through to the meat. Pat the skin dry with kitchen paper.
Step 2 of 4
Mix the soy sauce, sugar, five-spice powder, and 1 teaspoon of salt into a thick paste and rub it over the meat side of the pork, keeping the skin dry. Chill in the fridge, skin-side up and uncovered, for at least 8 hours, or overnight.
Step 3 of 4
Preheat the oven to 220°C (Gas 7). Line a roasting tray with foil and position a rack over it. Place the meat, skin-side up, on the rack and rub the skin with the oil and the remaining salt. Heat water in a kettle and half-fill the roasting tray with it.
Step 4 of 4
Roast the pork at the top of the oven for 30 minutes, then reduce the temperature to 200°C (Gas 6) and roast for a further 45 minutes- 1 hour, until the skin turns crispy. Remove from the oven, carve into slices, and serve.
