Ingredients needed 🛒1 servings
- pork belly 300g
- salt a pinch
- pepper a little
- chili powder 1 tablespoon
- potato starch 2 tablespoons
- green onion (white part) 1/2 stalk
- green chili pepper 2 pieces

Recipe 🍳
- Cut pork belly into bite-sized pieces and place them all in a plastic bag.
- Add a pinch of salt and a little pepper inside the bag, then sprinkle in 1 tablespoon of chili powder and 2 tablespoons of potato starch.
- Seal the bag and shake well to evenly coat the pork belly with the seasoning mixture.
- Heat generous amount of cooking oil in a pan, then lay the seasoned pork belly pieces in without overlapping, and start grilling over medium heat.
- As the meat gradually cooks, it releases fat, which blends with the starch and chili powder, frying slightly and forming natural chili oil.
- Once sufficient chili oil has formed, add finely chopped green onion white parts and green chili peppers, and stir-fry together to enhance aroma.
- Pour 1/2 tablespoon of minced garlic and 2 tablespoons of light soy sauce into the empty space of the pan, letting it sizzle slightly to build depth of flavor, then evenly sprinkle 1 tablespoon of sugar over the meat and grill thoroughly to let the sauce adhere.
- When the pork is fully cooked, push it to one side, place 1 bowl of rice in the empty space, and generously sprinkle with pepper and toasted sesame seeds to finish.
- Slice pork belly and mix with salt, pepper, chili powder, and potato starch in a plastic bag, shaking well to coat.
- Grill over medium heat in a pan with plenty of oil, allowing natural chili oil to form as the meat cooks.
- Add minced green onion, chili pepper, garlic, soy sauce, and sugar in order, stir-fry until dry, then serve over rice.
Cooking tips 💡
- Using potato starch makes the meat surface much crispier and helps the sauce cling tightly, giving a satisfying crispy-on-the-outside, juicy-on-the-inside texture.
- Pouring soy sauce into the empty space of the pan and letting it bubble briefly before mixing with the meat enhances smoky flavor and overall richness.
