Preheat your oven to 180°c. Place the marinated pork belly on a rack and into the oven with a tray below to catch any juices that fall off the meat. Cook for 30 minutes glazing the pork belly with the remaining marinate every 15 minutes, flipping once.
Prepare a honey solution by mixing water and honey together in a 1 to 1 ratio.
Switch your oven to grill mode, glaze the pork belly with the honey solution and let it char under the grill. Keep an eye on it to make sure it does not BURN.
Once the pork belly has some nice black char marks, remove it from the oven.
Chop and Enjoy served with a bowl of rice and friends.

EXTRA: Using the remaining marinade and the juices collected from the oven, place it into a small sauce pan and gently simmer it till a thick sauce forms.
