Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds beef belly
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 4 garlic cloves (minced)

  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon chili flakes (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (for garnish)
  • 2 green onions (sliced)

Instructions

  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.
  4. For oven cooking: preheat to 300°F (150°C), cover the dish tightly with foil and bake for about 180 minutes until tender.
  5. If desired, transfer the remaining marinade to a saucepan and simmer until reduced by half for a thicker glaze.
  6. Brush the glaze over sliced beef belly before serving; garnish with sesame seeds and green onions.
