Crispy, melt-in-your-mouth pork belly chunks seasoned with a fiery rub – perfect for grabbing and going.
Ingredients
2 servings
Pork belly, skin-on300 g
Sea salt1 tsp
Smoked paprika0.5 tsp
Cayenne pepper0.25 tsp
Garlic powder0.25 tsp
Black pepper0.25 tsp
Method
1
Pat the pork belly cubes very dry with paper towels. This is crucial for achieving maximum crispiness.
2
In a small bowl, combine the sea salt, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, and black pepper.
3
Place the pork belly cubes in a separate bowl and sprinkle them evenly with the prepared spice rub, tossing thoroughly to coat all sides.
4
Heat a heavy-bottomed pan (like cast iron) over medium-high heat. Add the pork belly cubes, starting with the skin-side down if possible. Do not overcrowd the pan; cook in batches if necessary to ensure even crisping.
5
Sear for 5-7 minutes per side, turning occasionally, until all sides are deeply golden brown and crispy, and a good amount of fat has rendered out. Reduce the heat if the pork belly is browning too quickly.
6
Remove the crispy pork belly bites with a slotted spoon and transfer them to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess fat.
7
Serve immediately as a hot, savory snack or a satisfying meal.
