2 tbsp tamari
1 tbsp garlic-infused oil
1 tsp fresh ginger, finely grated
1 tsp rice vinegar

For serving

2 scallions, green tops only, thinly sliced (optional)
1 tsp sesame seeds (optional)

Instructions

1
Heat the oven to 300°F (150°C). Pat the pork belly completely dry with paper towels, then score the skin in a crosshatch pattern at 1-inch intervals, cutting through the skin and just into the fat but not into the meat. Place the pork belly skin-side up on a wire rack set inside a roasting pan.
2
Combine the salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika in a small bowl. Rub the spice mixture all over the meat side and the sides of the pork belly, leaving the skin mostly bare.
