Crispy Pork Belly Experiment - Is the Salt Crust Really Necessary? [Siu Yuk 燒肉]

Broiling, pan frying, and salt crust baking, we compare three methods to making the juiciest, crispiest pork belly and pick our favorite method. (There was only one that wasn't THAT good).

BTW, my air fryer buddies out there. The steps are pretty much the same in the air fryer but I think you can cut the cooking time to about 75%.
