Since pork belly is inexpensive($1.99-2.29/lb) at my local Costco. I have been experimenting with some variations of a couple of the recipes I regularly use for grilling and smoking. I cut whole bellies into thirds or quarters and experiment away.
After a couple of days in a brine...
...removed and patted dry, light rub applied...
...allowed the pellicle to develop and began smoking over pecan @ 225-235...
...bacon wrapped pineapple peeking up from the lower grate(link below)...
...and an experiment with a mushroom stuffing in the foil(link below)...
...while the pork belly was smoking, I made a few variations to my char siu glaze recipe and let it reduce...
...pork belly ready to be glazed...
...new variation of char siu glaze applied on all sides and ready for the last leg of its WSM journey...
...the WSM journey has almost come to an end...
...smoked, glazed and time to rest...
...first slices of the char siu pork belly...
...served with toasted rice, buttered carrots and bacon wrapped pineapple...
OMG!!! It was sooooo good!!
All in all today, we made:
char siu pork belly
char siu bao
and
bacon wrapped pineapple
brisket stuffed, smoked mushrooms
and
cinnamon rolls
