Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Hello! Today, I’m sharing a recipe for a ‘Thin Pork Belly Rice Bowl’ that you can enjoy wonderfully at home. It’s simple yet incredibly delicious!
Step 2
First, let’s prepare all our ingredients. Thinly slice the whole garlic cloves. Peel the onion and cut it into strips about 0.5cm thick. Wash the scallions and finely chop them to use as a garnish.
Step 3
Heat a generous amount of cooking oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Add the sliced garlic and onions and stir-fry until fragrant, being careful not to burn them. The garlic will turn golden, and a sweet onion aroma will start to fill the air.
Step 4
Now, add the star ingredient, the thinly sliced pork belly, to the pan. Since it’s thin, it cooks quickly, so break it apart as you stir-fry to prevent clumping. Season with a pinch of black pepper and salt to enhance the meat’s flavor.
Step 5
Continue to stir-fry the pork belly until it’s golden brown and cooked through. If there’s too much excess oil, you can gently blot it with a paper towel. Crispy pork belly is extra delicious!
Step 6
Once the pork belly is nicely cooked, add all the pre-mixed sauce ingredients. Soy sauce, cooking wine, sugar, and sesame oil! Stir well to coat everything evenly and continue to cook for about 1-2 minutes to allow the sauce to penetrate the pork.
Step 7
The sauce will start to thicken and glaze the pork and vegetables. Reduce the heat to low and gently cook, being careful not to burn the sauce. This step allows the flavors to deepen.
Step 8
Finally, add the chopped scallions and toss them lightly. The fresh scent of the scallions cuts through any richness and adds a beautiful color to the dish.
Step 9
Place the warm, fluffy rice into a bowl. Generously spoon the freshly stir-fried, delicious thin pork belly mixture over the rice.
Step 10
For an even richer and creamier taste, gently place a fresh egg yolk on top. When mixed in, it doubles the savory richness.
Step 11
And there you have it – a truly delectable Thin Pork Belly Rice Bowl! The combination of fluffy rice, savory and sweet pork belly, and fresh vegetables is absolutely fantastic. Enjoy your meal!
