Notes
For a deeper flavor, marinate the pork belly in the soy and honey sticky glaze overnight to allow the meat to absorb all the savory and sweet nuances.
Choose low-sodium soy sauce to control saltiness, letting you adjust seasoning without overshadowing other ingredients.
For a rich, caramelized flavor in honey soy glazed pork belly, opt for dark soy sauce over light soy sauce. Both soy sauces add depth, but dark soy sauce enhances the dish’s color and sweetness.
