Instructions
- Step 1: In a large skillet or wok, heat 1 tbsp vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add 8 oz pork belly cubes and cook for 10-12 minutes, stirring often until pork is rendered, golden, and crispy. Remove pork and set aside, leaving fat in the pan.
- Step 2: Add remaining 2 tbsp vegetable oil and 4 minced garlic cloves to the skillet; sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant. Stir in 2 tbsp bagoong alamang and 2 sliced red chili peppers, cooking for 1 minute until the paste is aromatic.
- Step 3: Push ingredients to the side and pour in 2 beaten eggs. Scramble gently until just set, then mix with the garlic and bagoong mixture.
- Step 4: Add 4 cups chilled cooked jasmine rice and toss well to combine. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring frequently until rice is heated through and slightly toasted.
- Step 5: Stir in 3 chopped green onions and crispy pork belly cubes. Serve hot, garnished with fresh cucumber slices.
