Ingredients

• 1 pound pork belly, sliced into 1-inch thick pieces
• 4 slices of thick-cut bread (sourdough or brioche work great)
• 1/4 cup soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped (or 1 teaspoon dried rosemary)
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• Olive oil, for grilling
• Optional: lettuce or slaw for topping

How to Make Grilled Pork Belly Sandwich

1. Start by marinating the pork belly. In a bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, salt, and pepper. Add the pork belly slices, ensuring they are well-coated. Cover and let marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more flavor.
2. Preheat your grill or a grill pan over medium-high heat. Lightly brush the grill with olive oil to prevent sticking.
3. Remove the pork belly from the marinade, letting any excess drip off. Grill the pork belly slices for about 5-7 minutes per side, or until they are nicely charred and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 145°F).
4. While the pork belly is grilling, toast the bread on the grill until golden brown. This will add a nice crunch to your sandwich.
5. Once the pork belly is cooked, assemble your sandwich. Start with a slice of toasted bread, add a few pieces of grilled pork belly, and top with lettuce or slaw if desired. Finish with another slice of bread.
6. Slice the sandwich in half and serve immediately, drizzling with any leftover honey soy glaze for extra flavor.

Tips for the Best Results

• Make sure to let the pork belly marinate for at least 30 minutes for maximum flavor.
• Use a meat thermometer to ensure the pork belly is cooked to the proper temperature.
• Toasting the bread on the grill adds an extra layer of flavor and texture.
• Feel free to experiment with different toppings or sauces to suit your taste.

Easy Variations

• Swap the pork belly for grilled chicken or tofu for a lighter option.
• Add slices of avocado for creaminess.
• Use different herbs like cilantro or basil for a fresh twist.
• Spice it up with a little sriracha or chili flakes in the glaze.

What to Serve With It

• Crispy potato wedges or fries for a classic side
• A light salad to balance the richness of the sandwich
• Pickles or pickled vegetables for a tangy crunch
• A refreshing coleslaw to complement the flavors
