Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the pork belly cubes and cook, stirring occasionally, for 10–12 minutes until the fat has rendered and the pieces are golden brown and crisp on most sides. Transfer the pork belly to a plate and pour off all but about 1 tablespoon of the rendered fat from the skillet.
