Prepare the Pork

Begin by cutting the pork belly into 2-inch pieces. Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the pork belly pieces. Brown the pork on all sides, allowing the natural fats to render and create a beautiful caramelized crust. Once browned, drain any excess fat from the pan.

Make the Glaze

In a mixing bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, brown sugar, sesame oil, garlic powder, black pepper, and grated ginger. This flavorful mixture will become the base for the irresistible glaze.

Glaze and Simmer

Pour the glaze mixture over the browned pork belly pieces in the skillet. Bring the liquid to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low, cover the pan, and let the pork belly simmer for 30-40 minutes, or until the meat is tender and the sauce has thickened. If you prefer an even thicker glaze, you can mix a tablespoon of cornstarch with a bit of water and stir it into the sauce during the last few minutes of cooking.

Garnish and Serve

Once the pork belly is cooked to perfection, remove it from the heat and garnish with freshly chopped green onions and a sprinkle of toasted sesame seeds. Serve the Savory Honey Glazed Pork Belly hot, accompanied by fluffy white rice or your favorite noodle dish for a complete and satisfying meal.
