Main Ingredients

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Pork Belly

    Trim any excess fat from the pork belly, then cut it into bite-sized pieces. Place the pork belly in a large mixing bowl.

  2. 2

    Make the Marinade

    In a separate bowl, combine the brown sugar, soy sauce, minced garlic cloves, grated fresh ginger, rice vinegar, and sesame oil. Whisk until the sugar dissolves completely.

  3. 3

    Marinate the Pork

    Pour the marinade over the pork belly pieces, ensuring they are well coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or overnight for best results.

Cooking

  1. 4

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).

  2. 5

    Arrange in Baking Dish

    Transfer the marinated pork belly to a large baking dish, spreading it out in an even layer.

  3. 6

    Bake the Pork

    Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 2 to 3 hours, until the pork is tender and the fat has rendered.

  4. 7

    Broil for Crispiness

    After baking, remove the foil and switch the oven to broil. Broil the pork for an additional 5-10 minutes, watching closely until the top is crispy and caramelized.

Serving

  1. 8

    Garnish and Serve

    Chop the green onions and sprinkle them over the crispy pork belly. Finally, garnish with sesame seeds before serving.
