Method
 

  1. In a bowl, combine the soy sauce, calamansi juice (or lemon juice), minced garlic, ground black pepper, brown sugar, and salt. Mix well to make the marinade.
  2. Place the pork belly in a large resealable bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the pork, making sure it’s coated evenly. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or overnight for best results.
  3. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
  4. Remove the pork belly from the marinade, allowing any excess marinade to drip off.
  5. Grill the pork belly on each side for about 10-15 minutes or until the meat is cooked through and slightly charred.
  6. While grilling, baste the pork belly with cooking oil from time to time to keep it moist and to enhance the flavor.
  7. Once cooked, remove the pork belly from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes.
  8. Slice the Inihaw na liempo into serving pieces and serve hot with steamed rice and your favorite dipping sauce.
