Cooking the dish according to the recipe:

Bring a large saucepan of salted water to a boil. Add the green beans and cook for 4 minutes, until half-cooked.

Drain the water and place the pot you used to cook the beans in another, larger pot filled with cold water. This will allow the beans to stop cooking under their own heat. Drain again, then pat dry with paper towels.
Brown the pork belly in a large skillet for 8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until crispy. Transfer to a paper towel with a slotted spoon.

Add the garlic to the remaining rendered fat in the pan and fry for 1 minute until golden brown.

Add the breadcrumbs and cook for another 1 minute, stirring, until the mixture is toasted.
