  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon chili flakes (optional)

  1. In a mixing bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, ginger, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and chili flakes.
  2. Place beef belly in a slow cooker or oven-safe dish; pour the marinade over it and ensure it's evenly coated. Marinate for 30 minutes or overnight for best results.
  3. For slow cooking: set on low heat for approximately 6 hours or high heat for 3 hours until tender.
