Grill the pork belly: Remove the pork belly from the marinade (discard the used marinade). Grill for about 3-5 minutes per side, until browned and slightly crispy.

Caramelize the glaze: While the pork is grilling, you can simmer the reserved marinade in a small saucepan over medium heat until it thickens into a glaze-like consistency. In the last minute of grilling, brush the thickened glaze generously over both sides of the pork belly, allowing it to become sticky and caramelized.

💡 Consejos de Profesional
- ✓For an extra crispy skin, ensure the pork belly is dry before grilling.
- ✓Adjust the sweetness and tanginess of the glaze to your preference by adding more brown sugar or a splash of lime juice.
- ✓If grilling isn't an option, you can bake the pork belly in the oven at 375°F (190°C) for about 45-60 minutes, or until cooked through and tender, then broil for a few minutes to crisp up the edges.
