Step 1
Pat the 1.5 lb pork belly cubes dry with paper towels. Season generously with salt and pepper.
Step 2
Heat 2 cups vegetable oil in a deep skillet over medium-high until shimmering, about 5 minutes. Carefully add the pork in a single layer, working in batches if needed.
Step 3
Fry the pork, turning occasionally, until deep golden brown and crispy all over, about 10-12 minutes. The skin should be crackling and the meat tender.
Step 4
In a small bowl, whisk together 0.5 cup white vinegar, 2 tbsp soy sauce, and 0.5 sliced onion. Let sit for 5 minutes to mellow the onion.
Step 5
Serve the crispy pork hot, topped with 0.25 cup cilantro leaves, with the vinegar dipping sauce on the side.
