Description
Sticky, sweet, and savory — this pork belly recipe brings restaurant-quality flavor to your home kitchen. Thick slices of pork belly are marinated in a honey garlic glaze, then roasted until perfectly crisp on the outside and melt-in-your-mouth tender inside.
Ingredients
- 2 lbs pork belly slices
- Salt and pepper, to taste
For the Glaze:
- 4 tbsp honey
- 3 tbsp soy sauce
- 2 tbsp rice vinegar
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp sesame oil
- 1 tsp grated ginger (optional)
- 1/2 tsp chili flakes (optional)
- 1 tbsp brown sugar
Optional Garnishes:
- Sliced green onions
- Toasted sesame seeds
- Chopped cilantro or parsley
Instructions
- Mix all glaze ingredients in a bowl until combined. Reserve 1/4 cup of the glaze separately.
- Season pork belly slices with salt and pepper. Place in a dish or zip bag and coat with the remaining glaze. Marinate for at least 2 hours or overnight.
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking tray with foil or parchment and place a wire rack on top.
- Arrange pork belly slices on the rack. Roast for 35–40 minutes, flipping once halfway.
