**Sticky Sesame Pork Belly Recipe**

**Ingredients:**
– 2 pounds pork belly, skin removed
– 1/4 cup soy sauce
– 2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
– 2 tablespoons honey
– 2 tablespoons brown sugar
– 3 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 teaspoon ginger, grated
– 2 tablespoons sesame oil
– 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
– 1/4 cup water
– 2 tablespoons sesame seeds, for garnish
– Green onions, chopped, for garnish

**Instructions:**
1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking dish with foil and place the pork belly in the dish.

2. In a bowl, whisk together soy sauce, hoisin sauce, honey, brown sugar, garlic, ginger, sesame oil, rice vinegar, and water to create the sticky marinade.

3. Pour half of the marinade over the pork belly, ensuring it is evenly coated. Reserve the remaining marinade for later.

4. Cover the baking dish with foil and roast the pork belly in the preheated oven for 2 hours. Then, remove the foil and roast for an additional 30 minutes or until the pork belly is golden and tender.

5. While the pork belly is roasting, heat a small skillet over medium heat. Add sesame seeds and toast them until fragrant, about 2-3 minutes. Set aside.

6. Once the pork belly is cooked, remove it from the oven and increase the oven temperature to 425°F (220°C). Brush the remaining marinade over the pork belly.

7. Return the pork belly to the oven and cook for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the marinade caramelizes and forms a sticky glaze on the surface.

8. Remove the pork belly from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing into thick pieces.

9. Serve the Sticky Sesame Pork Belly garnished with toasted sesame seeds and chopped green onions. Pair it with steamed rice and a side of steamed vegetables for a complete and satisfying meal.

Enjoy the delightful combination of tender pork belly coated in a sticky, flavorful glaze that’s sure to impress your taste buds.
