Pork Belly Asado is a classic Filipino dish that features tender and juicy pork belly slow-cooked in a sweet and tangy sauce. The pork belly is marinated in a mixture of soy sauce, vinegar, brown sugar, garlic, and spices for several hours, then slow-cooked until it is tender and flavorful. The result is a melt-in-your-mouth pork belly that is perfect for serving over rice or alongside your favorite vegetable dish.
The cooking time for Pork Belly Asado can take several hours depending on the size and thickness of the pork belly. However, the dish itself is relatively easy to prepare, and the slow-cooking process allows the pork belly to absorb all of the delicious flavors in the marinade.
