Boil water in a roasting pan.

Prepare the pork belly by cleaning it and removing any cartilage if necessary.

Place the pork belly skin-side down in boiling water to soften the skin.

Let the pork belly boil to help render some fat and make it easier to score the skin.

Chop onions and garlic to place under the pork in the roasting pan for flavor and to prevent sticking.

Salt the pork belly generously on the underside.

Score the skin of the pork belly in a diamond pattern without cutting into the meat.

Place chopped onions and garlic in the roasting pan, then place the pork belly on top.

Cover the roasting pan with a lid and place it in the oven.

Cook in the oven for about 1.5 hours.

After 1.5 hours, remove the lid and switch the oven to grill mode to crisp the skin.

Add some of the drippings from the pan to the pork belly for flavor.

Return the pork belly to the oven to let the skin crisp up further until it pops and is golden brown.

Once cooked, slice the pork belly and serve.
