Variations & Tips
For a spicy kick, you can add a sliced red chili or a tablespoon of chili paste to the sauce. If you prefer a leaner dish, you can substitute pork belly with pork shoulder or even chicken thighs. Additionally, adding a splash of rice vinegar towards the end of cooking can provide a nice tangy contrast to the sweet and savory sauce. Feel free to experiment with the balance of flavors to suit your taste.
