Ingredients

Measured from the catalog payload.

  • 2 lbs pork belly sliced about half an inch thick
  • 1/2 cup soy sauce
  • 2 pieces lime
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 5 cloves garlic crushed
  • 1/4 cup banana ketchup
  • 1 tablespoon cooking oil

Instructions

4 cooking steps

  1. Combine the pork belly, soy sauce, lime or calamansi juice, salt, ground black pepper, and garlic in a bowl. Mix well, then cover and refrigerate for at least 3 hours. Overnight marinating gives the best results.
  2. Pour the marinade into a separate bowl. Add the banana ketchup and cooking oil, then stir until well blended. Set this aside as the basting sauce.
  3. Grill the pork belly over medium heat. Flip occasionally and baste generously with the sauce after each turn. Grill until the meat is fully cooked and nicely charred, about 15 to 20 minutes total.
  4. Serve hot with spiced vinegar or toyomansi alongside steamed white rice. Share and enjoy!
