Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.

  2. Using a sharp knife, score the pork belly skin in a diamond pattern, being careful not to cut through the meat.

  3. In a small bowl, mix together the minced garlic, grated ginger, soy sauce, hoisin sauce, sugar, five-spice powder, white pepper, rice vinegar, and salt to create the marinade.

  4. Rub the marinade all over the pork belly, massaging it into the scores on the skin. Marinate for at least 30 minutes or ideally overnight in the refrigerator.

  5. Place the marinated pork belly on the prepared baking tray, skin side up. Drizzle the honey evenly over the top.

  6. Roast the pork belly in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.

  7. Reduce the oven temperature to 375°F (190°C) and continue roasting for another 1 to 1.5 hours, until the skin is crispy and the meat is tender.

  8. Remove the pork belly from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.

  9. Slice the pork belly into thick pieces and arrange on a serving platter.

  10. Garnish with sliced scallions and a sprinkle of sesame seeds before serving.
