Chinese style pork belly

[WildThongsHeartString]

I bought some beautiful looking pork belly ribs yesterday at Costco butcher. The packs were being snapped up by some Chinese ladies so got me thinking. If I take the top thick layer of fat off and rub the meat with Chinese five spice, should I roast or slow cooker the ribs to get them all melty and succulent like the ones from Chinese restaurants? I'm thinking maybe slow cooker then uncovered in a hot oven with some honey at the end. Would it work, never cooked them before?

Has it got the skin on? If so you could make crispy skin pork. Yum! Anyway all the chinese recipes I've got would ask you to boil it first for a couple of minutes before marinating and cooking. I would also cook at low heat rather than high. So boil a couple of minutes, rinse with cold water, put in five spice, honey, ginger, garlic, soya sauce, ketchup (secret ingredient ) and roast in the oven. (Don't have a slow cooker myself so cannot advice!)

Sounds good up to a point will try that!
Unfortunately will have to adapt slightly as my family will not eat skin or fat at all. don't know what they're missing

Keep the skin and do crackling all for yourself!

Now you've made me hungry...

Separate them, and if you have a chopper, cut them into shorter lengths. Then marinade in chilli, garlic, soy, honey and/or sweet chilli sauce. Tomato sauce will do at a push. You want to get that sweet/savoury thing going on.
Grill or cook in the oven, turning and basting frequently.
Serve with steamed rice and swtir fried greens.

Moondog, mmmmm!
