Moo Krob

Moo Krob is a deliciously crispy Thai BBQ dish featuring succulent pork belly marinated in aromatic spices and grilled to perfection. This high-protein treat is perfect for a savory and satisfying meal.

Ingredients

• Pork belly - 400 grams
• Soy sauce - 2 tablespoons
• Fish sauce - 1 tablespoon
• Brown sugar - 1 tablespoon
• Garlic - 4 cloves, minced
• Black pepper - 1 teaspoon
• Coriander powder - 1 teaspoon
• Cumin powder - 1 teaspoon
• Lime juice - 1 tablespoon
• Vegetable oil - 1 tablespoon
• Fresh cilantro - for garnish

Steps

1. In a mixing bowl, combine soy sauce, fish sauce, brown sugar, minced garlic, black pepper, coriander powder, cumin powder, and lime juice to create a marinade.
2. Cut the pork belly into 2cm thick strips and add them to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, preferably 2 hours.
3. Preheat your grill or BBQ to medium-high heat.
4. Remove the pork from the marinade and pat it dry with paper towels to ensure crispy skin when cooked.
5. Brush the grill with vegetable oil to prevent sticking, then place the pork belly strips on the grill.
6. Grill the pork belly for about 15-20 minutes, turning occasionally, until the skin is crispy and the meat is cooked through.
7. Once done, remove the pork from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing into bite-sized pieces.
8. Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve with steamed jasmine rice or a fresh salad.
