Steps

1
Place the pork belly in a large pot.
2
Crush and peel the garlic cloves. Trim off the small root ends and remove the skins.
3
Add a generous amount of the crushed garlic to the pot with the pork belly.
4
Slice the ginger and add it to the pot as well.
5
Place the pot over heat and bring the contents to a gentle simmer. Cook the pork belly over low heat for two hours.
6
Check that the pork belly is very tender and pliable. Remove it and place it on a wire rack.
7
Allow the pork belly to cool.
8
While the pork belly cools, add the dark soy sauce, some sesame oil, and the fish sauce to a pot or bowl.
9
Add some rice vinegar, white wine vinegar, or apple cider vinegar. Use one type of vinegar.
10
Stir in the honey and sugar so the sauce will form a sticky glaze later.
11
Add a splash of water to the sauce.
12
Finely dice a generous amount of garlic and add it raw to the sauce.
13
Cut the cooled pork belly into bite-sized pieces.
14
Heat oil in a frying pan. Fry the pork belly pieces in batches until crispy on both sides. Remove each finished batch before adding the next.
15
Add the sauce to the pan and heat it until it thickens and becomes sticky.
16
Add the crispy pork belly pieces to the sticky sauce and toss until evenly coated. According to the source, the pork is not cooked further at this stage.
17
Serve the glazed pork belly over prepared ramen and sprinkle with sesame seeds.

Notes

The creator does not give exact amounts for the ingredients or the sauce. They also mention a quicker variation: freeze the cooked and sliced pork belly, then fry it until crispy and add it to the sauce; according to the video, frying then takes about five minutes. Details for preparing the ramen are not provided.
