If you love millionaire's bacon, you will love my personal spin on it featuring slabs of pork belly––yum! For those unfamiliar with millionaire's bacon, here's why you'll love it: it's savory & sweet candied bacon that typically packs a bit of heat. It's simple to whip up & only requires a handful of ingredients. From my knowledge, its popularity arose at Sweet Maple in San Francisco by way of Chef Hoyul Steven Choi. He & his partner, Chaiporn Kitsadaviseksak, added it to their menu & the rest is history. You can now find hundreds of recipes for millionaire's bacon. Most include the same baseline of ingredients: cayenne pepper, black pepper, brown sugar and/or maple syrup. For a bit of flair, you'll find some unique additions in mine like sichuan & aleppo pepper. Feel free to omit if you don't have either on hand but I think they add a new depth of flavor (& the colors of both are lovely). In using pork belly, the dish becomes more substantial –– you get an appetizer of sorts; I thoroughly enjoyed serving it in a lettuce wrap but I could also see it being served as a main protein over rice or in a sandwich.
