Ingredients

  • 1.5 lbs skin-on pork belly cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 3 tbsp white miso paste
  • 2 tbsp grade A maple syrup
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tsp grated fresh ginger
  • 2 cups steamed sushi rice
  • 1 bunch sliced scallions
  • 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds
  • 1/2 cup pickled daikon radish
  • 1 tbsp neutral high-heat oil

Instructions

1
Begin by patting the pork belly cubes completely dry to ensure maximum crispiness.
2
Heat a heavy-bottomed cast iron skillet over medium-high heat with the neutral oil.
3
Sear the pork belly on all sides until the fat renders and the exterior becomes deep golden brown and crunchy, approximately 8-10 minutes.
4
While the pork sears, whisk together the white miso, maple syrup, soy sauce, and grated ginger in a small bowl to create the glaze.
5
Once the pork is crispy, drain the excess fat from the pan, turn the heat to low, and pour the glaze over the meat.
6
Toss rapidly for 60 seconds until the sauce bubbles and caramelizes into a sticky coating.
7
Divide the warm sushi rice into serving bowls, top with a generous portion of the glazed pork belly, and garnish with fresh scallions, sesame seeds, and the pickled daikon for a bright, acidic contrast.
