1
Marinate the Pork
In a bowl, combine soy sauce, umeboshi paste, and honey. Add the pork belly and marinate for at least 2 hours or overnight in the refrigerator.
2
Grill the Pork
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Remove the pork from the marinade and grill for about 5-7 minutes on each side or until charred and cooked through. Let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.
3
Prepare the Bao Buns
Steam the bao buns according to package instructions until warm and fluffy.
4
Assemble the Buns
Slice the grilled pork belly and place a few pieces inside each bao bun. Top with pickled namasu and garnish with micro cilantro.
