[Ingredients]
Pork Belly 2.5kg
Rock Sugar 100g (½ Cup)
Coarse Sea Salt 75g (⅓ Cup)
Soy Sauce 50g (¼ Cup)
Dark Soy Sauce 25g (1½ Tbsp)
Chinese White Spirit 50g (¼ Cup)

3.Drying: it can be dried either indoor or outdoor; sunshine and wind are two important factors; If you dry on the balcony and do not want to ventilate by keeping the window open, you could blow the meat with an electric fan as well; Dry in the sun for about 1 week; the weight of final product should be 30% less than the fresh meat;
4.Steaming: Steam the meat that you want to serve for the day; Steam for 12 minutes after boiling; Slice the steamed meat;
5.Stir Frying: Stir fry with vegetables of less moisture; No extra salt needed;
6. Storage: the dried and unsteamed Lap Yuk can be sealed and frozen in the freezer for longer storage.
