Steps

• Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).
• In a small bowl, mix together the salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
• Rub the mixture all over the pork belly, making sure to coat it evenly.
• Place the pork belly in a baking dish and bake for 1 hour, or until the skin is crispy and the meat is tender.
• While the pork belly is baking, prepare the caramel sauce. In a saucepan, combine the brown sugar, soy sauce, rice vinegar, and water. Cook over medium heat until the sugar has dissolved and the sauce has thickened slightly.
• Remove the pork belly from the oven and brush the caramel sauce all over the top.
• Increase the oven temperature to 220°C (425°F) and return the pork belly to the oven for an additional 15 minutes, or until the sauce has caramelized and the pork belly is golden brown.
• Remove from the oven and let the pork belly rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
• Serve the caramelized pork belly with steamed rice or your favorite side dishes.

Tips

• For extra crispy skin, you can score the pork belly before baking.
• If you prefer a spicier flavor, you can add some chili flakes to the caramel sauce.
