Marinade

Method

Marinade Preparation

  1. 1

    Combine the Marinade

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the lemon juice, soy sauce, brown sugar, minced garlic, and ground black pepper. Stir well until the sugar dissolves.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Pork

    Add the pork loin and pork belly to the marinade. Ensure the meat is well coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight.

Grilling

  1. 3

    Prepare the Grill

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If using charcoal, allow the coals to become white hot.

  2. 4

    Grill the Pork

    Remove the pork from the marinade, allowing excess marinade to drip off. Grill the pork for about 6-8 minutes on each side, or until cooked through and you achieve a nice char.

  3. 5

    Rest the Meat

    Once done, remove the pork from the grill and let it rest for about 5 minutes before slicing.

Salad Preparation

  1. 6

    Prepare the Salad

    In a bowl, combine diced cucumber, sliced chili peppers, and diced tomatoes. Season with salt and pepper.

  2. 7

    Dress the Salad

    Drizzle olive oil over the salad and toss gently to combine.

Serving

  1. 8

    Serve the Dish

    Slice the grilled pork into thin strips. Serve it on a plate alongside the cucumber, chili pepper, and tomato salad. Enjoy your Inihaw!
