Making the Grilled Pork Belly Sandwiches Gluten Free

One common adjustment made to this recipe is to substitute the brioche buns for gluten-free bread or rolls. There are a number of gluten-free breads and rolls available on the market today, and they come in a variety of flavors and textures, so the sandwich can be customized to suit the eater’s tastes. If a bun type bread isn’t desired, the pork belly and slaw can be served over a bed of lettuce leaves or other greens instead, which is a great gluten-free alternative.

Adjusting the Recipe to be Vegan Friendly

For a vegan version of this sandwich, grilled cubes of hearty vegetables, such as teriyaki-glazed eggplant or smoked tofu, can be used in place of the pork belly. The mayonnaise can be swapped for a vegan-friendly variety, and the honey can be replaced with agave nectar or other vegan sweeteners. Finally, the sesame-ginger slaw can easily be made without animal products, and the result is still a hearty, delicious sandwich.

In conclusion, the Grilled Pork Belly Sandwiches with Sesame Ginger Slaw recipe is a delicious and unique combination of savory, sweet, and spicy flavors, and is sure to become a favorite for many.
