Preparation Directions
Prepare the Pork Belly
Cut the pork belly into bite-sized pieces. Season with salt and black pepper, ensuring all sides are coated.

Fry the Pork Belly
Carefully add the seasoned pork belly to the hot oil in batches. Fry until golden brown and crispy, about 6-8 minutes per batch. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
