Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 2 pounds pork belly, skinless, cut into 1/2-inch thick slices
  • 1/3 cup soy sauce (regular or low-sodium)
  • 1/3 cup packed brown sugar (light or dark)

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Line a rimmed metal baking sheet with heavy-duty aluminum foil, shiny side up. Lightly grease the foil.
  3. In a medium bowl, stir together the soy sauce and brown sugar until mostly dissolved.
  4. Pat the pork belly slices dry with paper towels and coat them in the soy-sugar mixture. Let them rest for 5–10 minutes.
Cooking
  1. Arrange the slices on the foil-lined baking sheet, spacing them apart. Pour any extra mixture over them.
  2. Bake for 15 minutes, then flip the slices over and bake for another 15–20 minutes.
  3. For extra char, broil on high for 1–3 minutes.
  4. Let rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

These pork belly slices are best served hot, with options for side dishes like steamed rice, sautéed vegetables, or fresh salad. For added flavor, consider incorporating garlic or ginger into the glaze.
