  • mayo
Coat the pork belly in a little mayo as a binder on all sides, then shake the rub over evenly; flip fat side up and repeat.
Optional: score the fat (not into the meat) about an inch apart in a diagonal crosshatch; he finds it makes no difference.
Smoke until the internal temperature reaches about 203 to 205 degrees, about four and a half hours in so far (he estimates five or six hours); an oven also works.
  • 15 whole eggs
  • 1½ cup milk
  • salt
  • pepper
  • seasoning
Crack 15 eggs into a bowl, add 1 1/2 cups milk, a good pinch of salt and pepper and a little of the rub. Blend with a hand blender, making sure to get all the yolks.
  • spray
Spray an 8 by 8 pan and line it with a piece of parchment cut wide enough to lift the eggs out.
  • diced green onions
  • 1 whole little peppers
  • parsley
Pour the eggs in through a strainer. Add diced green onions, one little pepper and parsley.
  • hot water
Set the pan in a larger roasting-type pan and add hot water about halfway up the side.
Bake in a 300 degree oven about 45 to 50 minutes, until firm but not dried out.
Slice the pork belly. Lift the egg out with the parchment and cut a round the size of the bun.
  • bun
  • butter
  • sriracha
  • Japanese mayo
  • 1 slices Muenster
Toast the bun halves on the flat top with a little butter. Spread with sriracha and Japanese mayo, add three slices of belly, the egg round, and a slice of Muenster; let it melt, then crown with the top bun.
