Ingredients

  • 2 lbs pork belly
  • 3 tbsp white miso paste
  • 2 tbsp pure maple syrup
  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 1 tbsp grated ginger
  • 3 cloves minced garlic
  • 1 bunch scallions
  • 1 tbsp toasted sesame oil
  • 1 tsp shichimi togarashi

Instructions

1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2
Score the pork belly skin in a crosshatch pattern, season generously with kosher salt, and roast skin-side up for 45 minutes until the fat renders and the skin turns golden and crisp.
3
While roasting, whisk together the white miso, maple syrup, rice vinegar, ginger, and garlic in a small saucepan over low heat until thickened into a glossy glaze.
4
Remove the pork from the oven, brush the glaze liberally over the meat, and return to the oven for another 10 minutes to caramelize.
5
Toss the scallions in sesame oil and char them quickly in a hot cast-iron skillet.
6
Slice the crispy pork belly into thick, succulent medallions, plate over the charred scallions, and finish with a dusting of shichimi togarashi for a spicy, vibrant aromatic lift.
