Pork Belly

Sandwich Components

Method

Prepare the Pork Belly

  1. 1

    Season the Pork Belly

    In a small bowl, mix together the salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika. Rub this spice mixture all over the pork belly, ensuring that it is evenly coated.

  2. 2

    Sear the Pork Belly

    Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the pork belly skin-side down and sear for about 4-5 minutes until the skin is crispy. Flip and sear the other side for another 4-5 minutes.

  3. 3

    Cook the Pork Belly

    Transfer the seared pork belly to a baking dish and cover with aluminum foil. Place it in a preheated oven at 150°C (300°F) and roast for 2-3 hours until tender. Remove from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing.

Assemble the Sandwich

  1. 4

    Prepare the Buns

    While the pork is resting, slice the brioche buns in half and toast them lightly on a skillet or grill until golden brown.

  2. 5

    Spread the Mayonnaise

    Spread a generous amount of mayonnaise on the bottom half of each toasted brioche bun.

  3. 6

    Layer the Ingredients

    Place a few slices of the cooked pork belly on top of the mayonnaise. Add pickles and a handful of fresh arugula over the pork. Drizzle with sriracha sauce according to taste.

  4. 7

    Finish the Sandwich

    Top with the other half of the toasted brioche bun. Press down gently and serve immediately.
