How to Cook Lechon Belly Roll

Making your own roasted lechon belly is fulfilling. You get a chance to devour this delicious masterpiece after hours of preparation. Make sure to follow all the steps provided in the recipe below to be guided accordingly.

Before starting, make sure that the whole pork belly slab is prepared properly. Trim excess fat. Take the ribs off, and make sure that the skin is clean.

Rub Knorr SavorRich on the meat part of the belly. Spread evenly. I use pork SavorRich for this recipe. There is no need to use salt and ground black pepper. The seasoning alone is all you will need.

Rub around a tablespoon SavorRich on the skin part along with soy sauce. Let it marinate for 30 minutes before stuffing with aromatics.

I am using the following ingredients to stuff the pork belly:

  • lemongrass (dahon ng tanglad)
  • red onion
  • scallion (dahon ng sibuyas)
  • garlic

Simply slice or chop the ingredients above and place over the meat part of the belly. Roll the belly and secure using a kitchen twine. This goes into the oven for around 3 hours and 45 minutes.

Take note of the temperature adjustments. It is a must in order to achieve the same result as mine.

  1. 1st hour: 350º Fahrenheit
  2. 2nd hour: 360º Fahrenheit
  3. 3rd hour: 370º Fahrenheit
  4. 4th hour: 400º Fahrenheit

Before I forget, you will need to pour water on the roasting pan and add remaining scallions and lemongrass before putting the rack with rolled pork belly. This helps keep the meat moist and also contributes to the crispiness of the skin.

Enjoy this with spicy vinegar dip. Recipe is included below.

    Hi! Success yung recipe mo, the best. Medyo nasunog nga lang yung balat pero masarap padin, not sure if yung oven ko medyo luma na din. Question lng, is it broil or bake mode sa oven? Thanks.
