Notas
There is no need to add oil, because pork belly releases enough fat to fry and brown. Stir and turn the meat during cooking so it browns evenly. Avoid adding salt before tasting, because soy sauce and barbecue sauce are already salty. Whole black peppercorns add a bold touch, but you can reduce the amount for a milder flavor. Serve hot with rice, cassava, salad or farofa-style toasted crumbs.
