Ingredients

1 lb pork belly, cut into small cubes
2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons honey
1 tablespoon sriracha sauce (adjust to taste)
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
1 teaspoon garlic powder

Instructions

Prepare the Marinade: In a bowl, mix soy sauce, honey, sriracha, rice vinegar, garlic powder, ground ginger, and black pepper.
Marinate the Pork Belly: Add the pork belly cubes to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes.
