Step 1
Cut pork belly into 1-inch cubes. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high until shimmering, ~2 minutes.
Step 2
Working in batches, fry pork until skin crackles and edges brown, ~12–15 minutes total. Transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate.
Step 3
Pour off all but 1 tbsp oil from the skillet. Add minced garlic and cook 30 seconds until fragrant, stirring constantly.
Step 4
Add vinegar, water, and soy sauce. Stir and simmer for 2 minutes. Taste and adjust salt or vinegar to your preference.
Step 5
Return pork to skillet and toss gently to coat with sauce. Transfer to a serving plate.
Step 6
Garnish with sliced chili and chopped scallion. Serve immediately with the pan sauce for dipping.
