Homemade Bacon step by step
- 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..
- Massage the meat around in the bag to thoroughly rub the seasoning in. The flavour will turn out best if there is plenty of salt and pepper..
- Here is the salt and pepper seasoning I used. It has course ground black pepper and garlic flakes. You can use any seasoning you prefer..
- Put the meat in the refrigerator for 1~2 days..
- Line a wok with some aluminum foil. Put a handful of wood chips on top of the foil..
- Cover the wood chips with a round mesh screen..
- Rinse off the pork slices, and wipe the water away thoroughly with a tea towel. Line the pork up on the mesh rack..
- 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..
- 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..
- If the meat has turned the color shown in the photo, you are OK. Let the meat rest overnight to remove any acrid taste left by the smoke..
- Slice the bacon to your desired thickness. Today I made bacon and egg..
