Ingredients

1.25 pounds, skin scored pork belly
3 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons maple syrup
1 tablespoon, minced fresh ginger
1, peeled and diced mango
1/4 cup, finely chopped red onion
2 tablespoons, chopped cilantro
1 tablespoon lime juice

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat oven to 325°F. Place 1.25 pounds pork belly on a rack in a roasting pan, skin-side up. Rub with 3 tablespoons soy sauce, 2 tablespoons maple syrup, and 1 tablespoon minced ginger. Roast for 2 hours until skin is crackling and pork is tender, basting with pan juices every 30 minutes.
Step 2: While pork roasts, prepare salsa: Combine 1 cup diced mango, 1/4 cup chopped red onion, 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro, and 1 tablespoon lime juice in a bowl. Mix gently and chill for 15 minutes.
Step 3: Remove pork from oven and let rest for 10 minutes before slicing. Slice pork belly into 1/2-inch thick pieces. Serve with mango salsa spooned over the top. Drizzle with any accumulated pan juices.
