Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 1 pork belly (we used half a cut in our example)
  • 1 cup soy sauce
  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 1 tbsp crushed red chili flakes
  • 3 cloves fresh garlic
  • 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp pepper

Method
 

  1. Chop the garlic cloves, then place in a ziploc bag with all of the other ingredients.
  2. Add the pork belly, close the bag, and press to spread the marinade over all surfaces of the pork belly. Place in the fridge.
  3. After 12-18 hours, remove the pork belly from the bag, cut off the skin, and return to the bag for an additional 4-6 hours.
  4. Preheat the smoker to 250°F.
  5. Place the pork belly on the smoker and set a timer for 2 hours.
  6. Check the pork belly with a meat thermometer. You are looking for 165°F or above. Check back every hour.
  7. Once/If the meat plateaus, crank up the smoker to 300°F.
  8. After reaching at least 165°F (we recommend 170°F) remove the pork belly from the grill and rest for 15-20 minutes.
  9. Slice the pork belly with the grain and serve!
