Ingredients
- 500 grams Pork belly
- 3 tablespoons Soy sauce, low sodium

- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 2 teaspoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme, chopped
Directions
Step 1
Start by trimming all excess visible fat from the pork belly to ensure this dish remains low in fat.
Step 2
Slice the pork belly into thin strips, about 1/2 inch thick.
Step 3
In a large bowl, combine the low sodium soy sauce, lemon juice, minced garlic, honey, black pepper, salt, and chopped fresh thyme to create the marinade.
Step 4
Add the pork belly slices to the marinade, making sure each piece is well coated.
Step 5
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let the pork belly marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours for more flavor.
Step 6
Heat a grill pan over medium-high heat and brush it lightly with olive oil to prevent sticking.
Step 7
Once heated, arrange the marinated pork belly slices on the grill pan in a single layer, ensuring they do not overlap.
Step 8
Grill the pork belly for about 8-10 minutes per side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
Step 9
Remove the pork belly from the grill pan and let it rest for a few minutes before serving.
Step 10
Serve the grilled pork belly hot, paired with a fresh salad or your favorite healthy side dish.
