Instructions
-
Whisk miso, kosher salt, honey, and 1/2 cup water in a medium bowl until smooth. Gradually whisk in another 1/2 cup water; add pork belly. Cover and chill 3 days.
-
Preheat oven to 325 °F. Blend sugar, lime juice, galangal, and 1 1/2 cups water in a blender until smooth. Remove pork from brine and rinse off; discard brine. Place pork and galangal syrup in a large heavy pot. Cover pot, transfer to oven, and braise pork until tender and nearly falling apart, 3 –3 1/2 hours.

Remove pork from braising liquid and transfer to a rimmed baking sheet or large baking dish; chill until firm, at least 3 hours. Cover braising liquid and let sit at room temperature.
-
Reheat oven to 325 °F. Skim fat from braising liquid. Thinly slice pork belly lengthwise 1/4 –1/8" thick to make baconlike strips. Place pork slices on a clean rimmed baking sheet and spoon some braising liquid over. Roast until pork is warmed through, 8 –10 minutes.

Divide kimchi among plates. Top with pork. Scatter nasturtium leaves and roe, if using, over top. Sprinkle with sea salt.
