Home-made Pancetta Made from Thinly Sliced Pork
Pancetta is so tasty. I want to use it, but it is very expensive! You can make it from a pork belly block, but it takes time, and it's difficult to thinly slice!
With some resolve, it is possible to make something like pancetta using thinly sliced pork belly. It does not have the rich taste of fully cured pancetta, but is delicious enough for casual uses.
This recipe is not designed for preservation, so try to use the pancetta within 3~4 days, or freeze it for later use.
If you use thickly cut pork belly, make sure to sandwich it between two or more paper towels.
Use herb salt, crazy salt, or your own choice of herbs. Recipe by Okanyan

Cooking Instructions
- 1
Cut the pork belly so that it can fit on a paper towel. Wrap your cutting board in plastic wrap, and cover with a paper towel.
- 2
Sprinkle the paper towel evenly with the crazy salt.
- 3
Line the strips of pork belly over the salt. Don't overlap the slices.
- 4
Sprinkle the slices evenly with salt and pepper.
- 5
Cover the pork slices with a paper towel, and then cover the whole thing with plastic wrap. Make sure to remove as much air as you can while wrapping, and seal the plastic wrap airtight.
- 6
Put the sealed pork slices in the refrigerator for 12 hours, or overnight. Now you have pancetta.
- 7
If you want a richer flavour, put the pork slices between 2 or 3 sheets of paper towel, and let it rest for up to 3 days. The key is to make sure the meat is sealed airtight, and has enough paper towel to soak up any liquid.
- 8
This pancetta shouldn't be eaten raw, so make sure to cook it before eating.
- 9
I wrapped it around green beans, and then fried it.
- 10
Peel some shrimp and wrap it in the pancetta.

Extremely Delicious Homemade Pancetta Extremely Delicious Homemade Pancetta
I saw this recipe in a bookstore somewhere, and tried making it from memory and it was a huge success I was a little worried about the relatively small portion of salt at first, but it's worked well every time I've made it.I used water-absorbent sheets that absorb grease and water quite well. I think you can also use kitchen wipes (like thick paper towels) as well. There are recipes that require more salt, producing pancetta that keeps longer, but with this recipe you won't need to de-salt the meat afterwards. The ingredient amounts listed are also enough to give the pork a good strong flavor. Just make sure to cook it through before eating. Recipe by Miruneko -

Make at Home! Thinly Sliced Meat Make at Home! Thinly Sliced Meat
Thinly sliced available at Japanese supermarkets is not sold overseas. If you order from the butcher directly it you can get it, but since there is no custom of eating thinly sliced meat overseas, it can be tricky.When trimming the meat block in step 1, don't divide into smaller chunks. Freeze the meat in a single block as it'll be easier to slice.You need to put your weight when slicing the half-frozen meat, so it's pretty strenuous. If you don't have a lot of strength, try defrosting the meat for 3 hours! Or, use a serrated blade knife. Recipe by Popotankobu -

Homemade Bacon Homemade Bacon
Smoked bacon can be very expensive, so I decided to make it myself. Real bacon is very labor intensive, but through trial and error I managed to make yummy bacon without too much effort.The bacon can be smoked easier if it is cut into 2cm slices. If it is too thick, the flavor won't penetrate to the center. If the smoke color is too weak, you might want to try smoking it a second time. Also, make sure to thoroughly wipe the meat dry before smoking, otherwise the smoke will not penetrate the meat well. Recipe by Kurodai Chinuko -
