Ingredients needed 🛒1 servings
- 1 serving of pasta noodles
- 1~2 strips of pork belly
- ½ onion
- a little carrot
- ½ green onion
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
- ½ cup pasta water
- a pinch of salt
Recipe 🍳
- In a pot, add plenty of water and a pinch of salt. When the water boils, add the pasta noodles and cook for about 5 minutes, then drain in a colander.
- Place the pork belly strips on a dry pan without oil. Cook over medium heat, turning occasionally, until the surface is golden brown on both sides.
- When the pork belly is fully cooked, cut it into bite-sized pieces with kitchen scissors. If there is excessive oil, lightly dab half of it with a paper towel.
- Move the meat to one side of the pan. Add the sliced onion, carrot, chopped green onion, and 1 tablespoon minced garlic. Sauté in the rendered pork oil until fragrant and lightly golden.
- When the vegetables have softened, add the drained pasta noodles and ½ cup of pasta water to the pan to keep it moist.
- Add 1 tablespoon of oyster sauce, the key seasoning, over the noodles. Stir-fry everything together over high heat until well combined.
- When the pasta water is fully absorbed, creating a glossy coating from the oyster sauce, turn off the heat.
- Transfer the finished pasta to a bowl. Optionally, sprinkle with sesame seeds or black pepper to taste.
- Boil the pasta noodles lightly and drain. Pan-fry the pork belly until golden and cut into pieces with scissors.
- Add the prepared onion, carrot, green onion, and minced garlic to the pork oil and stir-fry until fragrant.
- Add the boiled noodles, pasta water, and 1 tablespoon oyster sauce. Quickly stir-fry over high heat until the sauce coats the noodles evenly.
Cooking tips 💡
- If there is too much pork oil, the pasta can become greasy. For a cleaner finish, lightly dab the excess oil with a paper towel before stir-frying.
- One spoonful of oyster sauce packs intense seasoning and umami, so there's no need for extra salt beyond cooking the pasta.
- For added crunch and volume, you can julienne some leftover mung bean sprouts or cabbage from the fridge and stir-fry them together.
