Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, thoroughly wash the fresh bok choy under running water. Remove any wilted or dirty outer leaves. You can also cut them into bite-sized pieces for easier eating.
Step 2
Heat a pan over medium-high heat. Add the thinly sliced pork belly and spread it out. Stir-fry until it’s nicely browned and rendered some of its fat. This will make it more flavorful and crispy.
Step 3
Once the pork belly is cooked, add all the seasoning ingredients: 3 Tbsp soy sauce, 1 Tbsp fish sauce, 1 Tbsp brown sugar, 1 Tbsp oligosaccharide, 1 Tbsp minced garlic, a pinch of black pepper, and 2 Tbsp cooking wine. Stir-fry quickly over high heat until the sauce coats the pork belly evenly. Feel free to adjust the amount of sugar to your preference for sweetness.
Step 4
When the sauce has slightly thickened and coated the pork belly, add the prepared bok choy. Stir-fry briefly, just until the bok choy begins to wilt slightly. The key is to maintain its crisp texture.
Step 5
Finally, sprinkle a generous amount of sesame seeds over the stir-fry and give it a quick toss. Your delicious Bok Choy and Pork Belly Stir-fry is ready! Serve hot with rice and enjoy every bite.
