Method
-
Cut each pork belly slice into 4 pieces, about 2.5cm cubed. Add to a bowl with the soy sauce, lime zest and juice, sugar, honey and the sesame seeds, along with two of the sliced spring onions. Marinate for 20 mins.
-
Preheat the oven to 180°C/Fan 160°C/Gas 4. Put the pork cubes on a baking tray lined with baking paper and pour the marinade into a small saucepan. Roast the pork pieces in the oven for 25-30 mins until crispy and some of the fat has rendered out. You can turn the oven down by 20 degrees if you see the pork burning.
-
Meanwhile, simmer the marinade over a low heat for 5 mins until reduced. Let the pork cool for 10 mins before arranging on a serving platter or plate. Drizzle over the reduced marinade and sprinkle with the remaining spring onions and serve.
Notes
You can cook these a few hours ahead of serving, but reduce the marinade just before serving.
These bites freeze well. Defrost and reheat until piping hot to serve. In order to enjoy optimum flavour and quality, frozen items are best used within 3 months of their freezing date.
