Instruções

Start by seasoning the pork belly pieces with salt, pepper, soy sauce, rice vinegar, and honey, then set aside to marinate for 20 - 30 minutes. Coat each piece with cornstarch then fry in batches until golden brown and crispy, about 5 - 6 minutes per batch. Drain on paper towels. For an extra crispy texture, you can double fry the bites for a further 2 minutes,.

In a separate pan, combine sweet chilli sauce, soy sauce, brown sugar, rice vinegar, garlic, and ginger. Cook over medium heat until the sauce thickens, about 5 minutes. Toss the fried pork belly in the glaze until evenly coated, then transfer to serving dish. Sprinkle with sesame seeds, and garnish with chilli and fresh coriander leaves. Serve hot!
