100g pork belly

2 eggs

2 bowls of rice

10g scallions

10g carrot

2 tbsp cooking oil

1/4 tsp (1.25g) seasoned salt

1 tbsp water

Recipe

Finely chop the scallions and carrot, and thinly slice the pork belly.
Add cooking oil to a pan, then add the pork belly and fry until crispy and golden brown to render the pork fat.
Beat the eggs and add them to the pork fat, stirring gently to cook.
Add the rice and stir-fry evenly, coating each grain with oil to prevent clumping.
Season with seasoned salt, then add the chopped scallions and carrot and stir-fry together.
Pour 1 tablespoon of water around the edge of the pan to create steam and make the rice moist and smooth, then turn off the heat.

Prepare the ingredients and fry the pork belly in a pan until crispy to render the pork fat.
Add the eggs and rice, season with seasoned salt, and stir-fry until the moisture is absorbed.
Add 1 tablespoon of water around the edge, let the moisture evaporate, and finish.

Cooking tips

Even if you're eating alone, use at least 100g of meat so the flavor of the meat fat properly infuses.
Adding 1 tablespoon of water at the end is a key tip that helps the seasoning coat each grain of rice evenly and keeps it moist.
Without jjajang sauce, season the fried rice itself lightly with seasoned salt so the seasoning is just right on its own.
