## 👨🍳 Instructions
### 🔥 Step 1: Prepare the Pork Belly
Preheat your oven to *400°F (200°C)*.
Pat the pork belly cubes dry using paper towels. Removing excess moisture helps create an extra crispy texture.
Arrange the pork belly cubes in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet or wire rack.
### 🍖 Step 2: First Bake
Bake for *30–35 minutes*.
The fat will begin to render, and the outside will start turning golden brown and crispy.
### 🥣 Step 3: Make the Glaze
While the pork belly cooks, combine the brown sugar and barbecue sauce in a bowl.
Mix until smooth and fully combined.
### ✨ Step 4: Coat the Pork Belly
Remove the pork belly from the oven.
Transfer the cubes to a large mixing bowl and pour the glaze over them.
Toss gently until every piece is evenly coated.
### 🔥 Step 5: Caramelize
Return the coated pork belly pieces to the baking sheet.
Bake for another *15–20 minutes* until the glaze becomes sticky, glossy, and caramelized.
The pork belly should be deep golden brown with beautifully crispy edges.
### 🍽️ Step 6: Rest and Serve
Allow the pork belly bites to rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Garnish with chopped green onions, sesame seeds, or fresh parsley if desired.
