Ingredients

  • 2 lbs skin-on pork belly
  • 3 tbsp white miso paste
  • 4 tbsp maple syrup
  • 2 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tsp grated ginger
  • 1 bunch scallions
  • 1/4 cup toasted sesame seeds
  • 1 tbsp chili oil
  • 2 cloves minced garlic

Instructions

1
Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C).
2
Score the skin of the pork belly in a crosshatch pattern and season generously with sea salt.
3
Place the pork on a rack over a roasting pan and roast for 2.5 hours until the fat has rendered and the meat is tender.
4
While the pork roasts, whisk together the miso, maple syrup, rice vinegar, soy sauce, and ginger in a small saucepan over low heat until smooth.
5
Increase the oven temperature to 425°F (220°C).
6
Brush the glaze liberally over the pork skin and roast for an additional 10-15 minutes until caramelized and sticky.
7
For the gremolata, thinly slice the scallions and char them quickly in a dry pan until blistered; toss with the minced garlic, chili oil, and sesame seeds.
8
Rest the pork for 10 minutes before slicing into thick, decadent slabs, then top with the fragrant scallion gremolata to serve.
