  • 1 ½ tablespoons honey
  • 2 teaspoons rice wine vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1 pound thinly sliced pork belly
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

Directions
  1. To make the pickled daikon and carrots, combine the carrot and daikon radish in a mason jar. In a small pot, whisk together the sugar, vinegar and 1/3 cup water.

  3. Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a cast-iron skillet. Add the pork belly and cook until crisp and browned, about 4-5 minutes; set aside.
  4. To make the green onion mayonnaise, combine the mayonnaise, green onions and garlic in a small bowl.
  5. Serve pork belly on rolls with pickled daikon and carrots, cucumber and green onion mayonnaise.
