For a whole pork belly, take a leaf out of the Italians’ book: slather the belly with herbs, roll it up and tie it tightly, then roast in a low oven overnight (look for a recipe for porchetta).
Bacon has been well-loved dating back to 1500 BCE, when the salted pork belly first appeared in China since then it typically is the meat portion of breakfast or added to dishes for its flavor.
