¼ cup fish sauce
2 tablespoons rock salt
¾ teaspoon ground black pepper
3 shallots, chopped
½ cup Chinese soy sauce
3 calamansis (Filipino lemons), juiced (Optional)
2 tablespoons sinamak (seasoned cane vinegar)
2 Thai bird's eye chile peppers, seeded and chopped (Optional)
Directions
Pat pork belly dry with paper towels. Score pork belly skin in a crosshatch pattern with a sharp knife.
Place pork belly skin side-up in a large roasting pan. Pour fish sauce evenly over pork belly. Season with rock salt and pepper. Let stand at room temperature for 2 hours.
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Cover roasting pan with aluminum foil.

Remove aluminum foil and turn on the oven's broiler. Broil pork belly until skin is crisp, about 30 minutes. Remove pork belly from oven. Let rest for 30 minutes. Slice off the bone.
Mix shallots, soy sauce, calamansi juice, sinamak, and chile peppers in a bowl to make dipping sauce. Serve slices of pork belly with dipping sauce.
