Cooking utensils

  • 1 Grill or oven
  • 1 Bowl for the marinade
  • 1 Barbecue tongs
  • 1 Aluminum foil

Ingredients
  

Meat:

  • 1 kg Pork belly with skin

Marinade:

  • 4 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 2 Tbsp honey
  • 1 teaspoon five-spice powder
  • 2 Garlic cloves finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon ginger Freshly grated
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Preparation
 

Prepare the marinade:

  • In a bowl, mix together the soy sauce, honey, five-spice powder, garlic, ginger and sesame oil. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

Marinate the pork belly:

  • Score the skin of the pork belly crosswise. Place the pork belly in the marinade, cover and marinate in the fridge for at least 4 hours, ideally overnight.

Barbecue:

  • Preheat the grill to 160°C. Remove the pork belly from the marinade and place on the barbecue. Grill over an indirect heat for approx. 2 hours until the meat is tender.
  • Make the rind crispy:
  • Increase the temperature to 220°C and grill the pork belly for a further 15-20 minutes until the rind is crispy.

Serve:

  • Remove the pork belly from the grill, leave to rest briefly and cut into slices. Brush with the remaining marinade

Recommended side dishes:

  • Fried pak choi with garlic and sesame seeds - brings bite, freshness and Asian elegance.
  • Sticky rice with spring onions - neutralizes spiciness, harmonizes with the meat juices.
  • Asian cucumber and mint salad - cools the palate and balances sweetness and spice.
