I love pork belly!! I am not sure if I need 8 marinades, because my favourite way is to salt and pepper…but I really would love to try that curry marinade.
Bring on the pork belly. I love all the different marinades – and the colors they give the pork.
Kindly check the Italian herb marinade. Is the dried basil 1/4 teaspoon or 1 teaspoon.? Thank you in advance.
Ohh thanks for noticing that, it should be 1/4. I will be updating the recipe now.

Hello, can i use beef instead of pork belly?
Yes you can but use only tender cuts like rib eye / tenderloin
Definitely trying these marinades. (Garlic salt, Garlic Soy and sweet BBQ)
