Over the past couple months I’ve gone through 5 pork bellies trying to figure out how to get that popcorn looking effect. I tried dry brining over multiple lengths of time, using baking powder, different oil & oven temps - all ending in frustration.
I finally realized that the quality of the pork belly actually was the most important variable, which really surprised me. There is a big difference in flavor between standard pork and heritage breed pork (I think of it as the wagyu of pork), and apparently its ability to bubble up.
I’ll post the full tutorial and process soon! ————— SUBSCRIBE and RING THE BELL to get notified when I post a video!
