Marinade and Pork Belly
Method
Preparation and Cooking
- 1
Marinate the Pork
In a large mixing bowl, combine soy sauce, sesame oil, brown sugar, minced garlic, minced ginger, black pepper, and smoked paprika to create the marinade. Add the pork belly and ensure it is well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.

Prepare the Smoker
Preheat your smoker to 225°F (107°C). Use wood chips of your choice for a smoky flavor; hickory or applewood work well.

Smoke the Pork Belly
Remove the pork belly from the marinade and shake off excess. Place it in the smoker and smoke for about 3-4 hours or until the internal temperature reaches 190°F (88°C) for tender results.
