Pat the pork belly cubes dry with paper towels. Place them in a large bowl and toss with the yellow mustard until each piece is lightly coated. Sprinkle the dry rub over the cubes and toss again until every surface is evenly covered. Arrange the cubes on a wire rack set over a rimmed baking sheet, spacing them apart so air can circulate. Refrigerate uncovered for at least 8 hours or overnight.
