Ingredients needed 🛒1 servings

  • pork belly 100g~150g
  • salt a pinch
  • pepper a pinch
  • bean sprouts 1 handful
  • red chili powder 1 tablespoon
  • dried anchovy paste 1 tablespoon
  • rice 1 bowl
  • oyster sauce 0.5 tablespoon

  • sesame oil a pinch
  • toasted sesame seeds a pinch

Recipe 🍳

  1. Place the prepared pork belly in a pan, season lightly with salt and pepper, then cook until golden brown.
  2. Using scissors, finely chop the cooked pork belly so the meat pieces are clearly visible.
  3. Add a handful of bean sprouts on top of the chopped pork, then roughly cut them with scissors for easier eating.
  4. Add 1 tablespoon of red chili powder and 1 tablespoon of dried anchovy paste, stirring continuously until the bean sprouts wilt and the flavors blend into the pork fat.
  5. Once the bean sprouts have wilted, add 1 bowl of rice and 0.5 tablespoon of oyster sauce, mixing thoroughly to prevent clumping and stir-fry once more.
  6. Transfer the finished fried rice to a serving bowl and top with a soft-boiled egg fry.
  7. Finally, evenly sprinkle pepper, sesame oil, and toasted sesame seeds on top to enhance the rich aroma and finish.
