Crispy-skinned, juicy roasted pork belly infused with Vietnamese flavors.
Thịt Heo Quay, or Vietnamese Crispy Roasted Pork Belly, is known for its incredibly crunchy crackling and juicy, flavorful meat. This dish is a staple in Vietnamese cuisine, often served with rice, pickled vegetables, or in bánh mì sandwiches.
The key to perfect Thịt Heo Quay lies in the crispy skin, achieved by drying the pork overnight and roasting it at the right temperature. A mix of fermented red bean curd, Shaoxing wine, chicken bouillon powder, and five-spice powder gives the meat its signature umami depth. With a few simple steps, you can recreate this restaurant-quality dish at home.
