Step 1
Cut the 1 lb pork belly into 1-inch cubes. Pat dry with paper towels, then season with 1 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper.
Step 2
Heat 2 tbsp vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering, about 2 minutes.
Step 3
Add the pork cubes in a single layer, making sure not to crowd the pan. Cook undisturbed for 5-6 minutes until the bottoms are deep golden brown.
Step 4
Flip the pieces and continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until all sides are crispy and the meat is cooked through, about 8-10 minutes more. The pork should be browned and sizzling.
Step 5
Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Serve hot as a snack or over rice.
