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.

Cooking Instructions
- 1
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.
- 2
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.
- 3
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.
- 4
Put the meat in the refrigerator for 1~2 days.
- 5
Line a wok with some aluminum foil. Put a handful of wood chips on top of the foil.
- 6
Cover the wood chips with a round mesh screen.
- 7
Rinse off the pork slices, and wipe the water away thoroughly with a tea towel. Line the pork up on the mesh rack.
- 8
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.
- 9
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.
- 10
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.
- 11
Slice the bacon to your desired thickness. Today I made bacon and egg.

This bacon is not smoke-cured.Cooking time may vary between ovens so please adjust the cooking time accordingly.This time, I used 2 x 250 g blocks, but I think it's easier if you use a 500 g block.

Homemade Bacon - in the Oven Homemade Bacon - in the Oven
Just like making ham or Char Siu pork, sprinkle salt and let the meat rest to bring out the umami. Bake at a low temperature to increase the flavour. Creating a bacon-like flavour through the addition of salt was a challenge. I think the salt content here is just perfect.You can achieve an effect close to smoking by using black tea. You want to adjust the salt weight to equal 3~5% of the weight of the meat. Adjust the cooking time to correspond to the weight of the meat being cooked. Recipe by Okaraseijin -
Homemade Canadian Bacon Homemade Canadian Bacon
#mycookbook. It's kinda expensive in the store, if you have all the stuff, spices, curing salt, charcoal, time, and porkloin it's not as expensive to make at home. A whole loin and you use 6-7 inches of it you will indeed save money.

Brad's homemade Cajun bacon Brad's homemade Cajun bacon
This is a recipe I used a lot when I was raising and butchering pigs. It is an alternative to the usual bacon cure. And quite tasty. This recipe is a little advanced and takes some time. As well as some specialized equipment. But in the end. I have had nothing but praise for the final product. This recipe is for 12-13 lbs of meat. It is important to keep the ratio of meat/brine the same for larger or smaller batches.
