Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) or preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
-
In a bowl, combine the soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, garlic powder, ginger, salt, and pepper. Mix well to create a marinade.
-
Place the pork belly pieces in the marinade, ensuring each piece is coated evenly. Allow the pork belly to marinate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
-
Cut several sheets of foil, each large enough to create a packet for one serving. Place a portion of the marinated pork belly in the center of each foil sheet.
-
Top the pork belly with slices of red onion and bell pepper. Drizzle a bit of the remaining marinade over the top for extra flavor.
-
Seal each foil packet securely, ensuring there are no openings for steam to escape during cooking. This will help to lock in the juices and flavors.
-
Place the foil packets on a baking sheet or directly on the grill grates. Cook in the preheated oven or on the grill for approximately 45-60 minutes, or until the pork belly is tender and cooked through.
-
Carefully open the foil packets, being mindful of the hot steam that will escape. Sprinkle freshly chopped parsley or cilantro on top for a pop of freshness and color.
-
Serve the Pork Belly Foil directly in the packets, allowing each guest to experience the wonderful aromas as they unveil their individual servings.
