Step 1
Cut the 1.5 lb pork belly into 1-inch cubes. Pat dry with paper towels.
Step 2
Heat 1 tbsp vegetable oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add pork in a single layer and sear until browned on all sides, about 8 minutes. Work in batches if needed to avoid crowding.
Step 3
Add 4 smashed garlic cloves and 2 whole red chilies. Cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Step 4
Pour in 1 cup beer and 1/4 cup soy sauce. Scrape up any browned bits from the bottom. Bring to a boil.
Step 5
Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer until pork is tender, about 30 minutes. The meat should be fork-tender.
Step 6
Stir in 1 cup shelled edamame and 1/4 cup peanuts. Cook uncovered until edamame is tender and sauce thickens slightly, about 5 minutes.
Step 7
Serve hot over rice if desired.
