Method

  1. 1 Marinate the pork belly slices with soy sauce, garlic, sesame oil, and pepper for 2 hours, but do not add honey yet.
  2. 2 Toast the sesame seeds in a dry pan for 3 minutes, then set aside.
  3. 3 Arrange the diced carrots, zucchini, and onions in a tray, then place the meat on top.
  4. 4 Bake at 200 degrees for 20 minutes to allow the fat from the meat to render down, giving the vegetables a rich, sweet flavor.
  5. 5 Brush with honey and sprinkle with sesame seeds, then bake for another 6 minutes at 220 degrees.
  6. 6 The honey should only be brushed on at the end, and the sesame seeds sprinkled at the same time; adding them too early will cause both to burn and taste bitter.
