The ingredients needed to make Homemade Bacon:

1. Make ready 500 grams Pork belly (block type)

1. Cut the pork into 2~3 cm slices. Put the slices into a thick plastic bag, and season thoroughly with the salt and pepper mix.

8. Heat the wok on high heat. When the wood begins to smoke, drop the heat to low, and cover the top of the wok with aluminum foil.
9. If the meat is 2 cm thick, smoke for 20~30 minutes. If it is 3 cm thick, smoke for 30~40 minutes. Once the meat has smoked, turn off the heat and leave it to cook in the residual heat for about 1 hour.
