The components are:
- steamed buns
- roasted pork belly (start with 3lbs skinless pork belly)
- scallions
- sweet pickles
- hoisin and siracha sauces
The candied crispies from the roasting of the pork make a fantastic condiment to the buns
Pork Belly

Pre-heat the oven to 450“F. Discard any liquid that has accumulated.
Put the belly in the oven, fat side up, and cook for 1 hour, basting it with the rendered fat
at 30 minutes -- it should be an appetizing goldcn brown.
