Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 pound pork belly cut into 1-inch cubes
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper freshly ground
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Honey Garlic Sauce
- 1/4 cup honey
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce low-sodium
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1/2 teaspoon sesame oil
Instructions
- 1 Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with foil or parchment paper.
- 2 Season the pork belly cubes with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
- 3 Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the pork belly cubes and sear until browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes.
- 4 Transfer the seared pork belly to the prepared baking sheet and roast in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.
- 5 While the pork belly is roasting, prepare the honey garlic sauce by combining honey, minced garlic, soy sauce, rice vinegar, and sesame oil in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir until well combined and slightly thickened.
- 6 Remove the pork belly from the oven and toss with the prepared honey garlic sauce until fully coated.
- 7 Return the pork belly to the oven and roast for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the sauce is sticky and caramelized.
- 8 Serve the sticky honey garlic pork belly bites hot, garnished with sesame seeds and chopped green onions if desired.
