Instructions

Step 1: Heat 2 tbsp vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add 12 oz thinly sliced pork belly and cook for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally until the edges are golden and the fat renders.
Step 2: Add 4 minced garlic cloves and 2 thinly sliced fresh red chili peppers to the skillet, stirring for 1-2 minutes until fragrant but not burned.
Step 3: Stir in 2 tbsp soy sauce and 1 tsp brown sugar, cooking for another 2 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly and coats the pork.
Step 4: Remove from heat and drizzle 1 tsp sesame oil over the stir-fry. Garnish with 2 sliced green onions before serving.
