Step 1
Pat pork belly dry with paper towels. Cut into 1-inch thick slabs.
Step 2
Heat a large skillet over medium-high until hot, ~2 minutes. Place pork skin-side down; do not move.
Step 3
Sear skin until deep golden and crackling, 6-7 minutes. Flip and sear meat side 2-3 minutes until edges brown.
Step 4
Stir ginger into soy sauce, vinegar, and sugar. Pour over pork, tilting pan to coat skin.
Step 5
Reduce heat to medium. Simmer 3 minutes, spooning glaze over skin until it gets sticky and dark.
Step 6
Slide onto a plate. Drizzle chili oil over skin, scatter scallions and sesame seeds. Serve hot.
