- 2 tbsp dark soy sauce

For the garnish:

To start, heat the vegetable oil in a wok or large pot over medium-high heat. Add the pork belly and cook until browned on all sides. Add the Shaoxing wine, dark soy sauce, light soy sauce, rock sugar, cinnamon stick, star anise, garlic, and ginger. Stir to combine.

To serve, arrange the pork belly on a platter and pour the sauce over the top. Garnish with sliced green onions, red chili, and sesame seeds.
