Instructions

  1. Step 1: Heat 2 tbsp vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add 400 grams thinly sliced pork belly and cook for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the edges start to crisp and the fat renders.
  2. Step 2: Add 4 minced garlic cloves and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant and lightly golden but not burnt.
  3. Step 3: Stir in 2 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp rice wine, and 1 tsp sugar. Cook for another 3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly and coats the pork.
  4. Step 4: Toss in 3 sliced scallion stalks and sprinkle 1/4 tsp white pepper. Stir-fry for 1 minute until scallions soften but remain bright green. Remove from heat and serve immediately.
