Ingredients

  • 1.5 lbs pork belly
  • 3 tbsp white miso paste
  • 2 tbsp pure maple syrup
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tsp grated fresh ginger
  • 2 cups steamed jasmine rice
  • 1 cup sliced cucumber
  • 1/2 cup pickled radish
  • 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds
  • 2 stalks sliced scallions

Instructions

1
Begin by scoring the pork belly skin in a cross-hatch pattern and searing it in a hot cast-iron skillet until the fat renders and the skin turns golden and crispy.
2
Remove from the pan, drain excess fat, and brush the meat generously with a whisked mixture of miso, maple syrup, soy sauce, and ginger.
3
Roast in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 20 minutes, basting halfway through to create a deep, caramelized lacquer.
4
Once the glaze is bubbling and dark, let the pork rest for five minutes before slicing into bite-sized cubes.
5
Assemble your bowl by placing a fluffy base of jasmine rice, layering the glazed pork, and tucking in fresh cucumber and radish for a cooling crunch.
6
Finish with a generous sprinkle of toasted sesame seeds and scallions to balance the rich, savory profile of the miso.
