Instructions

1: Cut pork belly into cube-ish pieces. Soak in water + vinegar for 10 minutes to help get rid of any odor. Rinse under cold water and pat dry.

2: Marinate pork belly with minced garlic, fish sauce, and black pepper at room temperature for 10 minutes.

3: In a wok or skillet, add oil and sugar, then turn on heat. Cook until sugar starts to caramelize to a dark amber/brown color.

4: Once sugar starts to bubble, add pork belly and cook for 1-2 minutes or until the meat is no longer pink.

5: Add coco rico (or water) along with sugar. Combine well, reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer for at least 25 minutes (or longer for tenderness). Skim off any foam/impurities.

6: After simmering, crank heat to high and cook for 5-10 minutes. Taste and adjust seasoning with fish sauce and more sugar if necessary.

7: Serve with rice and enjoy.
