Check out the recipe below for more details!
Essential ingredients for this dish:
+ 450g pork belly
+ Honey
+ Meat marinade: prepare according to the following recipe - 2 cloves of finely chopped garlic, 1 sprig of chopped spring onion, 7ml cooking wine, 14ml light soy sauce, 5ml dark soy sauce, 15ml honey, 15ml oyster sauce, 15ml hoisin sauce, 5g Chinese five-spice powder. Mix all ingredients thoroughly.
For grilling, most people opt for pork belly. This cut combines lean meat with a layer of fat that, when grilled, melts and permeates the meat, preventing it from drying out. It's advisable to choose a cut with slightly thicker meat and a moderate amount of fat.
How to make honey-glazed grilled pork:
- Clean the meat thoroughly and pat it dry. Then, cut it into two strips, place it in a ziplock bag (a specialized food-grade bag), pour the meat marinade in, zip the bag, and shake it multiple times to ensure the meat absorbs the flavors evenly.
- If you don't have a ziplock bag, you can use a brush or spoon to evenly coat the meat with the marinade. Place it in a plastic container, pour the sauce over it, seal the container tightly.
- Marinate the meat for approximately 4 hours, preferably in the refrigerator. You can marinate the meat in the morning for evening use or prepare it the night before for the next day.
- Preheat the oven to 200 degrees before placing the meat inside.
- While waiting for the oven to heat up, mix 15ml honey and 7ml hot water in a small bowl. Take the meat out of the fridge and evenly brush the water and honey mixture prepared over all sides. The outer honey glaze will enhance the color and enticing aroma of the dish.
- Once the oven is hot, place the meat inside and grill for about 30 minutes. After an extended grilling time, the meat may lose moisture and become dry. Take it out, brush honey water on it again, and continue grilling for another 15 – 20 minutes until done.
Enjoy the grilled meat immediately while it's still hot, ensuring you'll be delighted with the fantastic flavor of this dish.
