Spicy Soy Glazed Pork Belly Ingredients

Pork Belly Slices

Pork belly is the best cut for this dish because it has the right balance of meat and fat. The pork belly I’m using today are thin strips, which usually comes pre-packaged in the meat section at the supermarket. You can also get a big chunk of layered pork belly and cut them at home into thinner strips.

As it cooks, the fat slowly melts out, so you don’t need to add any oil to the pan. That fat gives the pork a crispy, golden edge and blends into the soy glaze, making the whole dish extra flavorful and perfect with rice.

Spicy Soy Honey Glaze

The spicy-savory sauce in this stir fry dish makes this pork recipe extra tasty with a bowl of rice. The secret to that rich umami sauce is actually freshly grated onion. This secret ingredient, inspired by my go-to Korean BBQ marinade, adds so much depth and flavor.

I mix the onion with with soy sauce, mirin, sesame oil, green onion, jalapeno, black pepper, honey, sesame seeds, and a little bit of Thai red chili for an extra kick. While cooking, the sauce thickens to a glaze that coats and sticks to the crispy pork belly.

How to Make Stir Fried Pork Belly

1. Season 1 lb thinly sliced pork belly with salt and black pepper. 
2. Heat a pan on medium-high and pan-fry pork belly until crispy and golden brown.
3. In a small bowl, mix together 1 onion grated, 3 tbsp soy sauce, 2 tbsp mirin or honey, 1 tbsp sesame oil, 1 green onion, 1-2 jalapeño, 1-2 Thai red chili, and black pepper.
4. Drizzle the sauce over the pork belly. Turn heat to high and sauté for 2 minutes until the pork is coated and glossy.
5. Sprinkle with 1 tsp sesame seeds and extra green onion. Serve hot!
