Step 1: Season the pork belly cubes with salt, black pepper, and paprika.

Step 2: Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.

Step 6: Stir in the garlic and ginger and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 7: Add the soy sauce, oyster sauce, dark soy sauce, brown sugar, and chili flakes.

Step 8: Toss the pork belly in the sauce until evenly coated.

Step 10: Stir in the chopped green onions and drizzle with sesame oil.

Step 11: Remove from heat and serve hot with rice or noodles.

Storage and Reheating Tips

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.

Reheat in a skillet over medium heat to help restore the crispy texture of the pork belly.

Avoid microwaving for too long, as the pork may become chewy.

Freeze leftovers for up to 2 months and thaw overnight in the refrigerator before reheating.
