Pork Belly

Pickled Veggies

Spicy Lime Sauce

Method

Preparing the Pork Belly

  1. 1

    Season the Pork Belly

    Rub the pork belly with salt, black pepper, smoked paprika, and garlic powder. Ensure the seasoning is evenly distributed.

  2. 2

    Marinate

    Drizzle olive oil over the seasoned pork belly and let it marinate for at least 30 minutes at room temperature or up to 2 hours in the fridge.

Pickling the Veggies

  1. 3

    Prepare the Pickling Liquid

    In a saucepan, combine white vinegar, sugar, salt, and water. Heat over medium heat until sugar and salt dissolve.

  2. 4

    Pickle the Vegetables

    Slice the carrots, cucumber, and radishes thinly. Place them in a jar and pour the hot pickling liquid over the veggies. Let them cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 1 hour.

Making the Spicy Lime Sauce

  1. 5

    Combine Ingredients

    In a small bowl, whisk together lime juice, chili paste, honey, minced garlic, and soy sauce until well combined.

Grilling the Pork Belly

  1. 6

    Preheat the Grill

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.

  2. 7

    Grill the Pork Belly

    Place the marinated pork belly on the grill. Cook for 6-8 minutes on each side or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F and the outside is crispy.

  3. 8

    Rest

    Remove the pork belly from the grill and let it rest for about 5 minutes before slicing.

Serving

  1. 9

    Plate the Dish

    Slice the pork belly and serve it with the pickled veggies and drizzle the spicy lime sauce on top.
