Step 1
Combine cooked rice with cilantro, parsley, scallions, cumin, paprika, salt, and lime juice in a bowl.
Step 2
Lay out one pork belly slice. Spoon about 3 tbsp herby rice down the center.
Step 3
Roll the pork tightly around the rice, folding in the sides. Repeat with remaining pork and rice.
Step 4
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high until shimmering, about 90 seconds.
Step 5
Place pork rolls seam-side down in the skillet. Sear 3 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through.
Step 6
Transfer to a plate. Serve hot with lime wedges and any pan drippings spooned over.
