Tender, fatty pork belly rendered crispy and bursting with a savory spice crust. These easy-to-grab skewers deliver big flavor for an instant food truck hit.
Ingredients
4 servings
Pork Belly
Pork belly (skin on or off)1000 g
Spice Rub
Sea salt1.5 tsp
Black pepper1 tsp
Garlic powder1 tsp
Smoked paprika1 tsp
Cayenne pepper0.5 tsp
Method
Pork Belly
1
Pat the pork belly dry with paper towels. Cut the pork belly into 1-inch cubes. If the skin is on, score it lightly with a sharp knife, taking care not to cut through the meat.
Spice Rub
2
In a small bowl, combine the sea salt, black pepper, garlic powder, smoked paprika, and cayenne pepper. Mix well.
3
Toss the pork belly cubes with the spice rub, ensuring all sides are evenly coated.
4
Pan-fry and Plate: Heat a large, heavy-bottomed skillet or cast-iron pan over medium heat. Add the pork belly cubes, starting with a cold pan if the pork belly has a lot of fat to render. Cook, turning occasionally, for 20-30 minutes, or until deeply golden brown and crispy on all sides. The fat will render out, effectively frying the pork belly in its own fat.
5
Once cooked, carefully remove the pork belly from the pan and let them rest on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess fat. Thread 3-4 pieces onto small skewers for easy handling. Serve hot.
