Step 1
Cut the 1 lb pork belly into 1/2-inch pieces. Heat a large pan over medium-high and add the pork; cook until browned and some fat renders, about 5 minutes.
Step 2
Add the 3 minced garlic cloves and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Step 3
Stir in the 1/4 cup soy sauce, 2 tbsp brown sugar, and 1 cup water. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to low.
Step 4
Cover and simmer until the pork is tender and the sauce thickens slightly, about 30 minutes. The sauce should coat a spoon.
Step 5
Slice the 2 green onions thinly. Serve the pork over the 2 cups cooked rice, spooning extra sauce on top.
Step 6
Garnish with the sliced green onions and the 1/4 cup pickled radish.
