🙋 Recommended for

  • Those who want to quickly prepare a delicious, restaurant-quality meat appetizer late at night or as a snack
  • People who love the satisfying crunch of soybean sprouts paired with the rich, savory taste of pork belly

Ingredients needed 🛒2 servings

  • pork belly 200g
  • soybean sprouts 1 pack (about 200g)
  • minced garlic 1 tablespoon
  • vegetable oil 3 tablespoons
  • shaoxing wine 1 tablespoon
  • soy sauce 1 tablespoon
  • oyster sauce 1 tablespoon
  • vinegar 1/2 tablespoon

Recipe 🍳

  1. Cut the pork belly into bite-sized pieces, and wash the soybean sprouts thoroughly. Drain well and remove all excess moisture using a colander.
  2. Heat 3 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a pan. Add minced garlic and pork belly, then stir-fry over high heat until the meat is fully cooked and the fat has rendered out.
  3. Once the pork is cooked through, add 1 tablespoon of shaoxing wine, 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, and 1 tablespoon of oyster sauce. Mix well to evenly distribute the seasoning throughout the meat.
  4. When the flavors are well blended, add the drained soybean sprouts to the pan. Keep the heat high and stir-fry quickly for about 1 minute to maintain their crisp texture.
  5. As the sprouts begin to lose their freshness slightly, drizzle 1/2 tablespoon of vinegar around the edges to enhance the aroma and add a bright, savory finish. Then turn off the heat.
  6. Transfer the stir-fry to a serving bowl and enjoy while hot, before the sprouts sink to the bottom.
  1. Cut pork belly into bite-sized pieces and wash soybean sprouts, then drain and dry thoroughly.
  2. In a pan, add vegetable oil, garlic, and pork belly. Stir-fry over high heat until fully cooked, then add shaoxing wine, soy sauce, and oyster sauce for seasoning.
  3. Add the soybean sprouts and stir-fry rapidly over high heat for 1 minute. Finish by drizzling vinegar around the edge to enhance flavor.

Cooking tips 💡

  • Never lower the heat during cooking—reducing the flame will cause moisture to leak from the soybean sprouts, making them soggy and tough.
  • The vinegar added at the end isn't for sourness; it’s meant to neutralize any greasy odor and subtly balance and elevate the overall flavor profile.
  • For extra spice, optionally slice green or red chili peppers thinly and stir-fry them along with the other ingredients for a spicy kick that makes this an even better appetizer.
