Crispy Roasted Pork

That day I came across Mikeyoki site that she is making her own Crispy Roasted Pork which makes my hands itchy for a new menu again coz this dish is my hubby’s favourite food. According to Mikeyoki, she says marinate and baked on the 4th days but I totally forgot about my piece of meat in the fridge (coz it’s weekends) so on the 5th day when I opened up the fridge, only I saw my piece of meat is still lying happily inside the cold temperature enjoying it’s cold air con!!! *slap forehead* So I quickly heat up my oven and give it a good roasted but I am using the big oven so the pork doesn’t look cooked at the bottom so I prolonged the roasting period from 15 minutes to 30 minutes for the bottom and 15 minutes on the top. The outcome was more then great (Mikeyoke, you are the best!!!) Once the pork is done, hubby already can’t wait to lay his hands on them and keep asking me when can he ate them. So while I let my roasted pork cold down under the room temperature, hubby has actually helped me to slice them all up nicely without being asked LoL

The outcome is extremely nice and the skin of the pork is very crispy! Hubby loves it very much and so do I. Unfortunately I only manage to do 2 small pieces that day for trial so hubby suggested why not we do a BIG piece on the same afternoon but I told him that the meat has to be marinated for few days …… he seems so disappointed, poor man LoL So at the end, we went and got ourselves a 2kg pork belly and again, without being asked, hubby voluntarily helped me to slit and poke the skin of the pork belly before marinating. Hubby even reminded me EVERY SINGLE DAY and NIGHT to brush vinegar on the pork afraid that I will be forgetting ….. hahahaha!!! That’s really something that never happened before in history!!! I think if I have not stopped him fight from the beginning and warned him never to touch MY MEAT, he would have happily doing the brushing for me every hour and every single minutes too LoL…… but I think the ‘difficult job’ better left to me just to make sure ‘we will have our crispy roasted pork’ at the end of the day :)

I think hubby just can’t wait for another piece of the crispy roasted pork because he really loves it so much until he purposely picked a pork belly which has a thick layer of fats on it!!!! LoL The ‘big day’ will be in a couple of days time before it when into the oven again ( I know I won’t be forgetting this time as hubby surely has started his countdown by now …. :P). I think I shall let Angel have a taste on them too since the other day, all of ‘em was wallop up by hubby before Angel wakes up from her nap :) A big THANK YOU to Mikeyoki for this nice recipe :)
