Place the yuca into a large pot, cover with water, add a tsp. salt, and bring to a boil. Let cook until the yuca is soft 15-25 minutes. Drain and place into a serving dish.
In a pan using medium heat, lightly salt and pepper the pork belly. Sauté the pork belly until golden brown all over 20-25 minutes. Once fully cooked and golden brown remove from the pan and place into a paper lined plate.
