This simple Orange Pork Belly features crispy, tender pork glazed with a sweet-tangy orange sauce. The pork is first roasted until the fat renders and the skin turns golden and crackling, then coated with a quick sauce made from fresh orange juice and basic seasonings. The result is a delicious balance of rich, succulent meat and bright citrus flavors that make an impressive main dish with minimal ingredients and effort.
