Method
Cooking Pork Belly
- 1
Prepare the Pork Belly
Preheat your oven to 150°C (300°F). Score the pork belly skin in a crosshatch pattern, being careful not to cut too deep into the meat.
- 2
Marinate the Pork Belly
In a bowl, mix together the brown sugar, soy sauce, minced garlic, black pepper, and salt. Rub this mixture all over the pork belly, ensuring it gets into the scored areas. Let it marinate for at least 1 hour, or overnight in the refrigerator for best results.
- 3
Roast the Pork Belly
Place the marinated pork belly on a rack in a roasting pan. Roast in the preheated oven for about 2.5 to 3 hours, or until the meat is tender and the skin is crispy. If necessary, you can increase the temperature to 220°C (425°F) for the last 20 minutes to achieve extra crispiness.
- 4
Rest and Slice
Once done, remove the pork belly from the oven and let it rest for 15 minutes before slicing it into thick strips.

Prepare the Buns

Add Cheese
Place a slice of cheddar cheese on the bottom half of each toasted bun. You can place the buns under the broiler for a minute to melt the cheese if desired.

Layer the Ingredients
On top of the cheese, add a layer of lettuce leaves, followed by a slice of tomato and a few pickles.

Finish with Pork Belly
Add the sliced pork belly on top of the vegetables, then drizzle some BBQ sauce over the pork.

Top the Burger
Close the burger with the top half of the bun. Repeat for the remaining buns.
