Note
- I bought the thinly sliced pork belly from frozen section in supermarket.
- This recipe used sliced pork belly so the texture is tougher than minced ones.
- Recommends to marinate the raw meat longer.
- This is an experiment attempt so please feel free to improvise & share your results for further improvement.

Strips of thinly sliced pork belly laid parallel and pressed against each other over parchment paper.

The meat did not stick well to each other so some parts broke apart when flipping.
