I tried this, but the skin didn’t get crispy as I had hoped. I think my grill might not be hot enough. Anyone else have this problem?
Just crank the heat! Maybe your grill is like my old one, takes ages to warm up. Or could be your pork is too thick? 🤔
I had the same issue! I think the grill needs to be really hot to get that skin crunchy. Maybe try preheating it longer next time?
Pork belly is too fatty for my taste. Wouldn’t make again. But if you like fatty meats, go for it!
Too fatty? Nah! It’s all about that crispy skin! If you grill it right, it becomes so good, trust me!
I get what you mean about the fat! But I think the flavor is worth it. Have you ever tried it with a really good dipping sauce? It can really balance it out!
Try Korean BBQ pork belly instead, much better! Just saying! 😜
Made this last night, and wow, it was delish! I never knew pork belly could taste like this. Gonna make it again soon!
This was a disaster for me! I burned it on the grill. Any other tips for beginners? 😭
Yum! My family loved it. I garnished with some chili flakes for an extra zing! Perfect for summer BBQs. 🔥
Awesome! I love the idea of chili flakes! Gonna try that next time! 🔥
Too much sauce. Personally, I like my meat more simple. Went with just soy and honey, tasted better to me. 🤷♂️
Nah, I think the sauce is what makes it good! Without it, just tastes like plain meat. 🤔
I get what you mean! Sometimes, simpler is better. Have you tried adding a little garlic to your soy and honey mix? Just a thought!
The ingredients list looks fancy, but easy enough to make. Not sure if I nailed it, but I’ll eat anything grilled! 😂
This recipe is absolutely amazing! The flavors are spot on, and it felt like I was dining at a fancy restaurant. Definitely a 5-star! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
