Ingredients

Pork Belly

Optional Garnish

  • Scallions

Instructions

  • Add neutral oil and add sugar to your pan. Cook over medium heat until the sugar melts and turns golden.
  • Carefully add pork belly cubes into the caramel. Sear for 2 minutes, flip, and cook another 2 minutes until lightly browned.
  • Add light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, and brown sugar. Stir until every piece is well coated.
  • Simmer on low until the sauce thickens and forms a glossy glaze that clings to the pork.
  • Serve over a fresh bowl of rice. Optionally torch the tops for extra caramelization, and garnish with scallions.
