Spicy Grilled Pork Belly

Elevate your home barbecue with this simple, flavor-packed grilled pork belly. Featuring a smoky, spicy glaze, these succulent strips are the perfect quick main.

Ingredients

• 500 g pork belly
• 1 piece fresh ginger
• 2 tbsp light soy sauce
• 1 tbsp oyster sauce
• 2 tbsp barbecue seasoning
• 1 tbsp cooking oil
• optional green onions

Instructions

1. 1Slice the pork belly

   

   Place the pork belly slab on a stable cutting board. Carefully slice the pork into thick, uniform strips, ensuring each piece is approximately the same size for even cooking.

   Tip: A sharp knife makes slicing fatty pork belly much easier and safer.
2. 2Add aromatics and seasoning

   

   Arrange the pork belly slices on a plate. Add fresh ginger strips, a drizzle of light soy sauce and oyster sauce, and a generous coating of barbecue seasoning over the meat.

   Tip: The ginger helps to neutralize any potential gaminess of the pork while adding a fresh aroma.
3. 3Massage to marinate

   

   Using gloved hands, thoroughly massage the marinade ingredients into the pork belly strips to ensure every piece is evenly coated. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to penetrate the meat.

   Tip: Massaging the meat helps the seasonings absorb faster and more deeply.
4. 4Arrange for baking

   

   Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil to make cleanup easier. Arrange the marinated pork belly slices in a single layer on the sheet, ensuring they do not overlap so they can roast evenly.

   Tip: Aluminum foil also helps to retain the juices, keeping the pork moist during the baking process.
5. 5Oil the pork

   

   Lightly spray the arranged pork belly slices with cooking oil. This will help them achieve a beautiful, crispy golden-brown exterior when baked.

   Tip: A light coating of oil is sufficient to promote browning without making the dish overly greasy.
