Ingredients for Pork Belly Baocitos

Method

Directions for Preparing Pork Belly Baocitos

  1. 1

    Marinate the Pork Belly

    In a bowl, mix the soy sauce, brown sugar, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Add the pork belly, ensuring it's well coated. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.

  2. 2

    Cook the Pork Belly

    Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Place the marinated pork belly on a baking sheet and cover it with foil. Bake for 2-3 hours until tender. Remove from the oven, let it cool slightly, then slice into bite-sized pieces.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Firecracker Slaw

    In a large bowl, combine the firecracker slaw mix with sesame oil and toss well. Adjust seasoning to taste.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Baocitos

    Steam the buns according to package instructions. Once steamed, fill each bun with a few pieces of pork belly, top with firecracker slaw, and sprinkle with sesame seeds and sliced green onions.
