Instructions

Step 1: In a mixing bowl, combine 4 tablespoons soy sauce, 2 tablespoons honey, 4 minced garlic cloves, 1 tablespoon rice vinegar, 1 tablespoon vegetable oil, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper; whisk until well blended.
Step 2: Add 500 grams of cubed pork belly to the marinade and toss to coat evenly; cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
Step 3: Thread the marinated pork belly cubes onto 6 soaked wooden skewers, leaving a little space between pieces.
Step 4: Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat (about 400°F). Place the skewers on the grill and cook for 4-5 minutes per side, basting with remaining marinade, until pork is nicely caramelized and cooked through.
Step 5: Remove from grill, sprinkle with 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds, and serve immediately.
