Inihaw na Liempo or Grilled Pork Belly needs no introduction at all. The name of the dish already defines itself. This is one good food that I really like because of its simple preparation and magnificent taste.
I love eating liempo the “kamayan” way. I just make sure that my hands are all clean and that the suka (vinegar) and eggplant salad (ensaladang talong) is within my reach.

Welcome to Panlasang Pinoy! 
OMG this one is a killer. 2 serving of steam rice won’t be enough! with matching sukang maanghang na my calamansi…the bomb!
kuya.ask ko lng po about dto sa inihaw na liempo kung pwde ba ang vngar ksi wla me stocks na lemon.pwde po ba?
Kung vinegar ang gagamitin mo dred, magiiba ang lasa ng liempo. Meron ka bang lime or calamansi around?
nice work pero baka kelangan i-boil yung basting sauce or siguraduhin na nasunog yung mga bacteria dahil contaminated siya kung galing sa marinade.
whooops… same sentiment here… i was always taught to throw out the marinating solution and not re-use it in the cooking process…
I agree with Elenor. You only cook the marinade if you’re going to make a sauce out of it. I’ve done it before. Basting sauce is obviously different from dipping sauce. The basting sauce is being cooked at the same time with the meat so it’s not raw.
I don’t have a grill around. Would you suggest any drastic variations if I bake it instead?
Drastic? I don’t have any extreme variation to suggest. You could simply bake this in the oven, denimjeans.
im gonna try this later for dinner ^_^
Hi,
this seem to be exciting too – like your others recipes. What brand ( if its ok) of banana catsup do you suggest? I am from the Philippines..
thanks a lot for your time.
I used the “J” brand, aures.

You can also use tomato ketchup, just add a tablespoon of sugar for every 1/4 cup of ketchup.
It might taste a bit different, though, depending on your brand of tomato ketchup.

Is it ok to replace the lemon with orange? thanks
If you do that, the taste will be different.
