Shop-bought bacon has a lot of additives and is not safe. I wanted to make homemade bacon easily. You can freeze this bacon and it keeps for a long time in the fridge. It is handy.

After turning off the heat, the remaining heat still cooks the pork.
Rest the bacon in the fridge for one day before eating. You can avoid excess smokiness!

Steps

1

Rub the salt and herbs evenly on the surface of the pork. Refrigerate overnight.
2

Soak the pork in plenty of water for about 2 hours to remove the saltiness. Pat dry and wrap in layers of kitchen paper. Refrigerate for 3 hours.
3

Cover the bottom of a frying pan or iron pot (not a non-stick one) with the tea leaves. Sprinkle sugar on top. Place a metal cooling rack (with legs) in the pan to avoid direct contact with the meat and smoking mixture.
4

Place the pan over high heat and start to smoke. Cover with a lid with a vent hole or aluminum foil with 2 holes. Smoke each side for 10 minutes over low heat. Leave to cool.
