Ingredients

  • 200 gr pork belly cut into pieces about 2 inches
  • 2 cups water
  • 1 tbsp vegetable oil
  • Kosher salt
  • Oregano
  • 2 tbsp lime juice

Instructions

  • Heat a big pan over high heat. Pour the water and let it boil.
  • Season the pork belly with salt, oregano, and the lime juice.
  • Cook the pork belly in the boiling water and lower the temperature to medium heat. Cook until the water evaporated completely.
  • Add the vegetable oil and let the pork belly cook for about 15 minutes. Flip the pork belly every 5 minutes. Cover the pan with a lid because there will be a lot of oil splash.
