Ingredients

1 cup (240 ml) soy sauce

1 cup (240 ml) calamansi juice

1 tablespoon minced garlic

1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

2 pounds (910 g) skinless pork belly, sliced lengthwise into 1-inch-thick (2.5 cm) strips

Sawsawan or pinakurat, for serving

Method

In a large nonreactive bowl, storage container, or ziplock bag, mix together the soy sauce, calamansi juice, garlic, and pepper.

Add the pork belly slices, toss so they are well coated in the marinade, cover the bowl or container or seal the bag, and marinate in the refrigerator overnight.

When you are ready to grill the pork, heat a gas or charcoal grill to medium or heat a grill pan or cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat.

Discard the marinade and grill the pork slices, turning them once or twice, for 3 to 5 minutes, until they are cooked through and slightly charred around the edges. Transfer to a platter and serve with sawsawan or pinakurat.
