I don’t know anyone who does not like Siu Yuk ! There are a variety of ways to make this and everyone has their own techniques. My mum uses a lemon to apply the salt onto the skin. The salt is used to draw the water out of the skin. I also find that air drying the pork for a several hours in room temperature before cooking helps to crisp up the pork. You can always ask your butcher to score the meat for you. I normally get mine from Sainsbury’s they are pre scored.
