A sweet porky treat
Pork is one of those meats that just goes so well with a sweet touch to it. This sticky pork belly recipe just hits all the sweet spots (pun intended). This recipe is Deepti’s and she had been wanting me to make it for a while and so I just got around to getting her to cook it up while I filmed the video. Hope you folks enjoy the recipe!

December 4, 2018 at 7:25 pmHey thanks for the awesome recipe! Are you planning on creating a keto version of it? I’ve made it a few times without the sugar and hoisin sauce but I would much prefer it this way. Needing a keto-friendly version! Thanks!
