Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Cut pork belly into 1-inch cubes. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high until shimmering, ~2 minutes.

  2. Step 2

    Working in batches, fry pork until skin crackles and edges brown, ~12–15 minutes total. Transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate.

  3. Step 3

    Pour off all but 1 tbsp oil from the skillet. Add minced garlic and cook 30 seconds until fragrant, stirring constantly.

  4. Step 4

    Add vinegar, water, and soy sauce. Stir and simmer for 2 minutes. Taste and adjust salt or vinegar to your preference.

  5. Step 5

    Return pork to skillet and toss gently to coat with sauce. Transfer to a serving plate.

  6. Step 6

    Garnish with sliced chili and chopped scallion. Serve immediately with the pan sauce for dipping.
