Enjoy succulent pork belly, marinated in a blend of rich aromatics and roasted to caramelized perfection. This easy recipe delivers a beautiful, glistening finish.

Ingredients

• 500 g pork belly
• 1 tbsp Orleans marinade powder
• 1 tbsp BBQ seasoning
• 2 cloves garlic
• 5 g ginger
• 1 tbsp Northeast soybean paste
• 1 tbsp oyster sauce
• 1 tsp white sugar
• 1 tbsp cooking wine
• 1 tbsp light soy sauce
• 1 tbsp cooking oil

Instructions

1. 1Slice the pork belly

   

   Using a sharp cleaver, cut the fresh raw pork belly into thick, uniform slices on a wooden cutting board to ensure consistent roasting.

   Tip: Keep the slices consistent in thickness so they cook evenly in the oven.
2. 2Prepare to season

   

   Transfer all of the freshly sliced pork belly pieces into a large stainless steel mixing bowl to begin the seasoning process.

   Tip: Using a stainless steel bowl makes cleanup easier and keeps the ingredients cold.
3. 3Add aromatics and spices

   

   Combine the sliced garlic, shredded ginger, Orleans marinade powder, BBQ seasoning, and Northeast soybean paste directly with the pork belly in the bowl.

   Tip: Ensure the garlic and ginger are distributed well to infuse the meat with flavor.
4. 4Add liquid seasonings

   

   Pour the oyster sauce, white sugar, cooking wine, and light soy sauce over the pork to build the flavorful marinade base.

   Tip: Pour the liquids evenly over the meat to help the dry spices dissolve into a marinade.
5. 5Marinate the pork

   

   Thoroughly mix the pork belly slices with the seasonings using a gloved hand until every piece is evenly coated. Let the meat marinate for 10 minutes.

   Tip: Massaging the marinade into the meat helps the flavors penetrate more quickly.
6. 6Prepare the tray

   

   Line your baking tray with a sheet of aluminum foil and use a brush to apply a thin, even layer of cooking oil to the entire surface.

   Tip: Oil the foil well so the caramelized marinade doesnt burn onto the tray.
7. 7Arrange the slices

   

   Lay the marinated pork belly slices out in flat, even rows across the prepared baking tray so they roast uniformly.

   Tip: Lining the tray with foil makes cleanup much easier after roasting.
8. 8Roast the pork

   

   Place the tray into a preheated oven and roast for approximately 10 minutes, or until the pork is fully cooked and has a golden-brown, caramelized exterior.

   Tip: Keep an eye on the pork during the last few minutes to ensure it doesnt overcook, as thickness can vary.
