Grilling

Grill Main Pork

Method

PREPARE THE KADAI

Set up the Kadai with coals for a medium-low heat.

SEASON THE PORK BELLY

Pat the pork belly slices dry with kitchen paper and season generously with the spice rub.

MAKE THE BBQ SAUCE

In a Medium Skillet, mix together the ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar, cider vinegar, soy sauce, mustard, and crushed garlic. Toss the pork belly slices in the sauce until fully coated.

SLOW COOK

Cover the skillet tightly with a BBQ Cloche and cook for 45 minutes until the pork is tender.

SEAR THE PORK BELLY

Remove the cloche and add small pieces of wood to the Kadai to achieve a flame. Transfer the pork belly slices to BBQ Trays and sear over the flame for 3–4 minutes, turning halfway and brushing with the reserved sauce from the skillet. Cook until the sauce is thick, sticky, and the slices are charred.

FINISH THE SAUCE

Add the stock to the remaining sauce in the skillet and reduce until glossy. Serve the pork belly with the sauce drizzled on top.
