Ingredients
  • 3 Lbs. Pork Belly 3" - 4" pieces
  • 1/3 cup Brown Sugar
  • 1/2 cup Honey
  • 2 tsp. Ginger grated
  • 4 cloves Garlic grated
  • 1/2 cup Light Soy Sauce
  • 1/4 cup Chinese Rice Wine or Apple Cider Vinegar
  • 1/4 Cup Hoisin Sauce
  • 3 Tbsp. Oyster Sauce
  • 1 tsp. Chinese Five Spice Powder
  • 1 tsp. Sesame Oil
  • 1 tsp. Red Food Coloring
Instructions
  1. Leave pork belly in about 3 - 4"" pieces (leaving fat on it as it keeps the pork moist while cooking).

  2. In a large seasoning bowl, combine the garlic, ginger, salt, sugar, honey, five spice, sesame oil, wine or apple cider vinegar, soy sauce, hoisin sauce, oyster sauce, and food coloring in a bowl to make the marinade (BBQ sauce).

  3. Rub the pork with the marinade in a mixing bowl. Cover and refrigerate overnight or at least for 8 hours. Keep the reserve marinade in the fridge as well.

  4. When ready to cook, pre-heat oven to 300 degrees F., place pieces in a baking dish about 1" apart along with some of the marinade. Cover with foil.

  5. Total baking time will be 2 and 1/2 hrs, but turn pieces and baste every 30 minutes throughout the time. Bake until tender.

  6. Uncover and bake for another 15 minutes until brown.

  7. Cool for about 10 minutes, then cut into 1" - 2" pieces to serve.
