Yield: 2 servings
Cuisine: Chinese
Ingredients: 8 oz pork belly, cut into 1/2-inch cubes; 6 cloves garlic, finely minced; 3 scallions, thinly sliced, whites and greens separated; 1 tbsp dark soy sauce; 1 tbsp light soy sauce; 1 tbsp oyster sauce; 1 tsp sesame oil; 1 tsp granulated sugar; 1/4 tsp white pepper; 3 cups day-old cooked rice; Crispy fried onions, for garnish

1

Finely mince the garlic. Thinly slice the scallions, keeping the white and green parts separate.

2

In a small bowl, combine dark soy sauce, light soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, sugar, and white pepper. Mix thoroughly to create the sauce.

3

Place the cubed pork belly in a dry wok or large pan over medium-high heat.

4

Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the fat has rendered and the pork is crispy. Remove the pork from the pan, leaving the rendered fat behind.

5

In the same pan with the rendered pork fat, add the minced garlic and scallion whites. Sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.

6

Return the crispy pork belly to the pan, followed by the day-old cooked rice.

7

Pour the prepared sauce over the rice and toss everything together until the rice is evenly coated and heated through.

8

Add the sliced scallion greens and give it one final toss to combine.

9

Transfer the fried rice to a serving bowl. Optionally, garnish with crispy fried onions and more scallion greens before serving.
