Pork belly is used to make red braised pork belly (紅燒肉) and Dongpo pork [3] (東坡肉) in China (sweet and sour pork is made with pork fillet). In Guangdong, a variant called crispy pork belly (脆皮燒肉) is also popular. The pork is cooked and grilled for a crispy skin. [4] Pork belly is also one of the common meats used in char siu.
For the meat to 'pull' properly, it must reach an internal temperature of 195 to 205°F (90.5 to 96°C); [1] the smoker temperature can be around 275°F (135°C). Cooking time is many hours, often more than 12 hours (though much shorter with electric pressure cookers, typically from 60 to 90 minutes).
The pork belly skin is removed before the pork is salted and held in a tub of brine for 10–14 days in a low-temperature and high-humidity environment. The brine is usually composed of salt, nitrite, ascorbate, spices such as black pepper, chilli, garlic, juniper, and rosemary, and sometimes nitrate.
When smoke rises from all sides, set the pork on the rack; reserve cup of the marinade. Cover and smoke for 40 seconds; remove from the smoker. In an ovenproof skillet, heat the oil until shimmering.
The temperature range for hot smoking is usually between 52 and 80 °C (126 and 176 °F). [11] Foods smoked in this temperature range are usually fully cooked, but still moist and flavorful. At smoker temperatures hotter than 85 °C (185 °F), foods can shrink excessively, buckle, or even split.
