The star of Filipino grilling parties: sweet-salty, calamansi-marinated pork belly, grilled over charcoal, with a vinegar dip. Fatty, caramelised and smoky.
Mix the soy sauce, calamansi juice, ketchup, sugar, garlic and pepper.
Toss the pork slices in the marinade, and refrigerate for at least 3 hours, ideally overnight.
Take out of the fridge half an hour before grilling. Reserve the marinade, mix with a little oil for brushing.
Grill over charcoal or in a griddle pan over medium heat, 8-10 minutes per side, brushing several times with the marinade, until the meat is cooked through, the edges caramelised and lightly charred in places.
Rest for a few minutes, cut into strips, and serve with the vinegar-onion dip and rice.

Tips
The sugar in the marinade burns easily; don't grill over too high a heat.
Also works in a 200°C oven for 35-40 minutes, finished off under the grill.
