Instructions

Step 1: Heat 2 tbsp vegetable oil in a wok over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add 300 grams thinly sliced pork belly and stir-fry for 5-6 minutes until the edges turn golden and the fat renders.
Step 2: Add 5 minced garlic cloves and 1 tsp red chili flakes to the wok, stirring continuously for 1 minute until fragrant but not burnt.
Step 3: Pour in 2 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp dark soy sauce, 1 tsp brown sugar, and 3 tbsp water. Stir well and cook for another 3 minutes until the sauce thickens and coats the pork belly.
Step 4: Drizzle 1 tsp sesame oil over the stir-fry, toss in 2 chopped green onions, and cook for 30 seconds before removing from heat to serve immediately.
