Poke holes in the pork to allow seasoning to simmer through inside. In a large pot, combine all the ingredients (except the oil) and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to simmer for 45 minutes to 1 hour until meat is tender but not falling apart. Remove from the pot and transfer to a plate and carefully dry with paper towels. Discard paper towels and let meat air dry for at least 1 hour, then freeze for at least 1 hour. Using a deep fryer or a deep pan, heat the oil. Once oil is hot (at least 350 degrees), slowly drop pork belly and let it cook until skin starts to form blisters, 6-8 minutes. Transfer onto a plate lined with paper towels to soak up the oil. Slice in smaller pieces and serve.
