One-Pot Soy-Glazed Pork Belly with Broccoli and Cherry Tomatoes

1.In a medium bowl, combine the soy sauce, honey (if using), sesame oil, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Whisk well to create the glaze.

2.Pat the pork belly cubes dry with paper towels. Season lightly with salt and pepper.

3.Heat the olive oil in a large, oven-safe skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the pork belly and sear for 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden brown and crispy on all sides.

4.Drain any excess fat from the skillet, leaving about 1 tablespoon. Reduce heat to medium.

5.Pour half of the soy glaze over the pork belly, stirring to coat. Cook for 2-3 minutes, allowing the glaze to thicken slightly.

6.Add the broccoli florets and cherry tomatoes to the skillet around the pork belly. Pour the remaining soy glaze over the vegetables and pork.

7.Stir gently to combine the vegetables with the glaze and pork. Cover the skillet and let it simmer for 8-10 minutes, or until the broccoli is tender-crisp.

8.Remove the lid and increase heat to medium-high. Cook for another 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce has thickened and coats the pork and vegetables. The pork belly should be tender and the glaze sticky.

9.Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Garnish with sesame seeds, if desired, and serve immediately.
