Honey-glazed grilled pork belly, a beloved dish worldwide, combines crispy, juicy meat with a sweet-savory glaze. Here’s a simple guide to perfecting it.
First, prepare the pork belly. Choose a well-marbled piece, about 1-1.5 inches thick. Score the skin in a diamond pattern (about 1/4 inch deep) to ensure crispiness. Rub with 1 tablespoon of salt, 1 teaspoon of black pepper, and 1 minced garlic clove, then marinate for at least 30 minutes (or overnight for deeper flavor).
Next, make the glaze. Mix 3 tablespoons of honey, 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of rice vinegar, 1 teaspoon of sesame oil, and a pinch of red pepper flakes in a bowl. Set aside.
Grill the pork belly over medium heat, skin-side down, for 10-15 minutes until the skin turns golden and crispy. Flip, reduce heat to low, and grill for another 20-25 minutes, brushing with the glaze every 5 minutes during the last 10 minutes.
Rest for 5 minutes, then slice into thin pieces. Serve with steamed rice or fresh vegetables. Enjoy the perfect balance of crunch, tenderness, and sweetness!
