- 2 stalks Scallions, sliced

Instructions

Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium‑high heat; lightly oil the surface. Grill the pork belly slices for about 3‑4 minutes per side, basting with any remaining marinade, until caramelized and slightly charred.

Transfer the cooked pork to a serving plate, drizzle any leftover glaze, and garnish with toasted sesame seeds and sliced scallions.
