Irresistibly savory and melt-in-your-mouth tender pork belly bites, slow-rendered and crisped to perfection. A food truck classic – punchy flavor, handheld, and utterly satisfying.
Ingredients
4 servings
Pork Belly
Pork belly (skin on or off)1 kg
Seasoning
Sea salt2 tsp
Black pepper1 tsp
Garlic powder1.5 tsp
Smoked paprika2 tsp
Glaze
Apple cider vinegar2 tbsp
Water2 tbsp
Method
Pork Belly
1
Preheat oven to 160°C (325°F). If using skin-on pork belly, score the skin in a crosshatch pattern without cutting into the meat too deeply. Pat the pork belly thoroughly dry with paper towels.
Seasoning
2
In a small bowl, combine sea salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika. Rub the seasoning generously all over the pork belly, ensuring it gets into the scores if present.
3
Cook the Pork Belly: Place the seasoned pork belly skin-side up on a wire rack set over a baking sheet. Roast for 2.5 to 3 hours, or until the skin is crispy and rendered, and the meat is very tender.
Finish the Bites
4
Remove from oven. Increase oven temperature to 200°C (400°F). While still warm, cut the pork belly into 1-inch (2.5 cm) cubes.
Glaze
5
In a small bowl, whisk together apple cider vinegar and water.
6
Glaze and Crisp: Toss the pork belly bites with the glaze until evenly coated. Return the bites to the wire rack on the baking sheet and bake for another 15-20 minutes, or until the glaze has reduced slightly and the bites are caramelized and extra crispy.
Serve
7
Serve hot, straight from the oven, as a delicious handheld snack or meal.
