Notes

We tested this recipe with both a diluted glaze and a no-water glaze, and found that removing the water creates a thicker, more concentrated sauce that coats the pork belly better. For best results, cook the glaze on low heat and stir continuously to prevent burning, since it thickens quickly without added liquid.
