Cheer on your favourite team with spicy burgers they can eat in one hand!

In Canada it’s time to begin the journey to the Grey Cup with the CFL playoffs. Getting the gang together to cheer on your favourite team calls for spicy foods that go well with a great beer. These trendy pork belly sliders with a spicy Asian twist take a little more time to make, but you can make the roast ahead, so they are totally worth it!

Lately, many restaurants have been featuring dishes made with pork belly. Well, did you know you could make it at home? It’s simple to make, low cost and super flavourful.


Spicy Pork Belly Sliders_2sq What is pork belly? Well, just that, the boneless fatty meat of the belly. Pork belly has been popular in Asian cuisine for ages, but it’s now being introduced into North America through creative chefs and adventurous home cooks. 

Think of pork belly as just a huge slab of uncured bacon. Once we slow-roast it, pork belly becomes sweet with caramelized sugars and salty and spicy from the rub. It’s so soft and totally rich from the slow cooking and rendered fat, but it’s also crispy and a bit exotic. To start you need a pork belly roast…

Pork Belly Roast_1r Pork Belly Roast_2 There are lots of things you can do with your finished pork belly. Besides slicing or dicing to eat as a roast, it can be shredded to make the most awesome taco filling you have ever tasted. This delicious shredded filling can also be used in steamed buns, or as a delicious sandwich filling.

For these Spicy Asian Pork Belly Sliders with Sweet & Sour Slaw we’re going to stash the whole cooked pork belly in the refrigerator. On game day when you’re ready to make sliders, cut off some thick slices, toss them into a hot pan for a minute and then you’re ready to assemble. Easy, peasy.

Spicy-Pork-Belly-Sliders_3 You could have these pork sliders with traditional bottled BBQ sauce, but take it up a notch by making this Asian Glaze plus Sweet & Sour Slaw. The crunch of this slaw goes perfectly with the rich pork belly…You will love it!
