Siew yoke

If there's one productive thing I've been up to this holiday..it's working on my driving and cooking skills. Okay make that two haha. Been on a roll experimenting with my cooking capabilities haha and well..here's my latest attempt at making roast pork :)

Not too bad for a first attempt if I say so myself :) unfortunately the skin turned out too rubbery and burnt sigh but otherwise the taste was not too bad and appearance wise, it did look pretty authentic. My eldest sis and grandma ate quite a fair bit of it; that's the highest compliment a chef can receive hehe :)

In case you wanna know how I did it from a newbie's perspective, all I did was based on estimation and "feel". Marinate the pork belly with oyster sauce and preserved soya beans while sprinkling salt, black pepper and sesame oil on the skin. Poke holes into skin (i guess i didn't do this part so well) to prevent a rubbery texture on the skin, Leave it there for about half an hour before popping it into the oven for 30-45 minutes and once you scrape off the burnt parts and chop it up into even pieces, voila!
