Score the skin side of the pork belly with a sharp paring knife.
Combine all the spices and rub liberally across the meat side of the belly. Feel free to add more if desired, I usually do.
Place the pork belly in a dish, cover, and refrigerate until you are ready to cook.
Preheat your oven to 350F. Place an oven-safe rack in a roasting pan and put the water in the pan. Put the pork belly on the rack, not touching the water, skin side up.
Bake at 350 F for 60-70 minutes, until the belly looks to be cooked through.
Remove the pork belly from the oven and increase the temperature to 465 F. Add more water to the bottom pan if needed, then return the pork belly to the oven and allow to cook an additional 25-30 minutes until the skin is crisp and golden.
Remove the pork belly from the oven and allow to rest 10 minutes before slicing. Cube or slice leftover pork belly and reheat by crisping in a skillet over medium heat.
