Recipe

Slice the pork belly into thick, bite-sized pieces using chopsticks as a guide.
Prepare the spicy seasoning sauce in advance.
Place the pork belly in a hot pan and fry until the surface is crispy and perfectly browned, like at a Korean BBQ restaurant.
Tilt the pan to remove the rendered pork fat, which can be greasy, and discard it cleanly.
Add the prepared sauce and water to the meat, and simmer until the sauce becomes sticky and concentrated.
When the sauce is well-coated, add the water spinach and stir-fry briefly until wilted, then serve over rice.

Slice the pork belly thickly and prepare the spicy sauce.
Fry the pork belly in a pan until crispy, then completely remove the rendered fat.
Add the sauce and water, simmer, then add water spinach, stir-fry together, and serve over rice.

Cooking tips

If you slice the pork belly too thin, the thick, chewy texture when fried crispy will be lost, so it's important to cut it with enough thickness.
Since fresh ginger can be tricky to store and use up, using convenient dried ginger is a handy alternative.
For the vegetable side, besides water spinach, crunchy green vegetables like spinach, scallions, or bean sprouts all work well.
