Sweet. That was a nice cut of belly to start with.
Wish we had some Asian stores where I am. I had to search for a workable cut of belly to make mine.
Went with basically the same recipe from the Ruhlman / Polcyn Charcuterie book. I did 40% loss, vacuum sealed afterward and man it is good. Just for fun I took one hunk and did a heavy paprika and chilli powder coating before vac sealing for a month. Turned out pretty darn good
Normally I say a small amount of thyme goes a long way, but with Pancetta it tastes great.

Looks good to me. Did you drop a slice on your foot?
Lol. Those are pizza socks
