Stir-Fried Pork Belly with Scallions

Ingredients

• pork belly (Cut into slices approximately the thickness of a coin; not too thin so they do not shrink excessively.)
• scallions (One bunch, cut into pieces.)
• fresh ginger (Sliced.)
• garlic (Sliced.)
• dried chili (Cut or broken into pieces.)
• dark soy sauce (Add a small amount for color.)
• light soy sauce (For seasoning.)
• oyster sauce (For seasoning.)
• sugar (A small amount.)
• salt (A small pinch.)
• hot cooked rice (For serving.)

Steps

1. 1

   Cut the pork belly into slices approximately the thickness of a coin. Avoid cutting them too thin, as they will shrink too much during cooking.

2. 2

   Cut one bunch of scallions into pieces.

3. 3

   Prepare the ginger and garlic in slices, and chop the dried chili.

4. 4

   Place the pork belly in a dry skillet without adding oil, and cook it slowly.

5. 5

   Allow the fat from the pork belly to render naturally as the meat browns.

6. 6

   Remove some of the excess fat from the skillet so the meat is not too greasy.

7. 7

   Add the ginger, garlic, and dried chili, and stir to combine them with the pork belly.

8. 8

   Add a little dark soy sauce for color and stir well.

9. 9

   Add the scallions and increase the heat.

10. 10

    Season with light soy sauce, oyster sauce, a little sugar, and a small pinch of salt.

11. 11

    Stir-fry everything quickly until the scallions are tender and fragrant.

12. 12

    Serve the pork belly with hot rice.

Notes

The source does not provide exact quantities, temperature, or specific cooking times. The pork belly is initially cooked without oil because its own fat renders in the skillet. The transcript indicates that the dish is tender and flavorful and recommends serving it with hot rice.
