Ingredients

• 1 pound pork belly, skin scored
• 8 ounces spaghetti
• 3 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
• 1 teaspoon sesame oil
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
• 3 green onions, sliced (for garnish)
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• Water (for boiling spaghetti)

How to Make Crispy Pork Belly with Noodles

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Season the pork belly with salt and pepper, ensuring to rub the seasoning into the scored skin.
2. Place the pork belly on a baking rack set over a baking sheet. Roast in the preheated oven for about 45 minutes, until the skin is crispy and the meat is tender.
3. While the pork is roasting, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the spaghetti according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
4. In a small saucepan, combine soy sauce, brown sugar, rice vinegar, sesame oil, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Heat over medium heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves. Let it simmer for 5 minutes until slightly thickened.
5. Once the pork belly is done, remove it from the oven and let it rest for about 10 minutes. Slice the pork belly into thick pieces.
6. To serve, place a portion of spaghetti on a plate, top with slices of crispy pork belly, and drizzle with the soy sauce glaze. Garnish with sliced green onions.

Tips for the Best Results

• Ensure the skin of the pork belly is dry before roasting for maximum crispiness.
• For an extra layer of flavor, marinate the pork belly in the soy sauce mixture for a few hours before roasting.
• Adjust the glaze ingredients according to your taste preference; add more sugar for sweetness or more soy sauce for saltiness.

Easy Variations

• Swap spaghetti for rice noodles or udon for a different texture.
• Add sautéed vegetables like bell peppers, snap peas, or bok choy to the dish for added nutrition.
• For a spicy kick, include a splash of sriracha or chili oil in the soy sauce glaze.

What to Serve With It

• A fresh cucumber salad for a crunchy contrast.
• Steamed broccoli or asparagus for a healthy side.
• Pickled vegetables to add a tangy flavor.
