Method

Pork Belly Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Pork Belly

    Preheat your oven to 150°C (300°F). Score the skin of the pork belly in a crosshatch pattern, being careful not to cut into the meat. Rub the pork belly all over with salt, black pepper, smoked paprika, garlic powder, and olive oil.

  2. 2

    Roast the Pork Belly

    Place the pork belly on a baking tray and roast in the preheated oven for about 2.5 to 3 hours, or until the skin is crispy and the meat is tender. Allow to rest for 15 minutes before slicing.

Jalapeño Slaw Preparation

  1. 3

    Mix the Slaw Ingredients

    In a large bowl, combine the shredded cabbage, sliced jalapeños, grated carrot, and chopped cilantro.

  2. 4

    Prepare the Dressing

    In a separate bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, lime juice, and salt and pepper. Pour this dressing over the cabbage mixture and toss well to coat.

  3. 5

    Chill the Slaw

    Cover the slaw and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

House Sauce Preparation

  1. 6

    Make the House Sauce

    In a bowl, combine mayonnaise, Sriracha, honey, lime juice, and garlic powder. Mix well until smooth.

Sandwich Assembly

  1. 7

    Assemble the Sandwich

    Slice the brioche buns in half. Place a generous amount of sliced roasted pork belly on the bottom half of each bun. Top with jalapeño slaw, a drizzle of house sauce, and a few slices of pickles. Close the sandwich with the top half of the bun.

  2. 8

    Serve

    Serve the pork belly sandwiches immediately with extra sauce on the side if desired.
