Slow-Cooked "Melt in your Mouth" Pork Belly

I just Love and Love this recipe because: What are you waiting for? Scroll Down.

     1)It is the best pork belly you will ever have 2)So easy to make 3)Saves on your Energy Bill
All you need to make this "Melt in your Mouth" recipe is a nice piece of pork belly & a rice cooker (yes,you read correctly: a Rice Cooker). Well, more specifically you need a rice cooker with an automatic steam function. 
I have been using my Panasonic Rice Cooker for the past 15 years as a steamer for all things as well as a rice cooker (of course...hehe). Ok, let's get back to our easy peasy recipe of making a tender yet velvety in fat pork belly, you will need:

Ingredients
-A piece of 5 layered Pork Belly (it refers to equal distribution of fat & meat, because you can clearly count 5 layers)
-About a tsp of Coarse Sea Salt
-1/4 cup of Shaoxing wine (found in Chinese supermarkets, but ones we can buy here are salted so wonderful for cooking attributed to the fragrant smokiness of the salt penetrating the meat-not for drinking), Sherry or White wine
-A green onion
