Method
Marinating the Pork Belly

In a bowl, combine the soy sauce, minced garlic, brown sugar, sesame oil, black pepper, and grated ginger. Mix well until the sugar is dissolved.

Marinate the Pork
Place the pork belly in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the pork belly, ensuring it is fully coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight for better flavor absorption.
