A Flavorful Rice Bowl Featuring Pork Belly and Abundant Chives
Let’s make a super simple pork belly rice bowl with plenty of chives! This dish is packed with flavor and comes together in minutes, perfect for a quick and satisfying meal.
Main Ingredients- 2 strips pork belly (approx. 200g)
- A handful of chives
- 1 bowl of cooked rice
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, wash the chives thoroughly and pat them dry. Chop them into roughly 3-4cm pieces. If you love the flavor of chives, feel free to use a generous amount!
Step 2
Heat a pan over medium-high heat and cook the pork belly strips until golden brown and crispy on both sides. Once cooked, let them cool slightly, then chop them into bite-sized pieces. This ensures a pleasant texture and allows the sauce to coat them evenly.
Step 3
In the same pan used for the pork belly, add the minced garlic. Sauté over low heat until fragrant, allowing the garlic aroma to bloom. Be careful not to burn the garlic; cook it until its scent becomes noticeable.
Step 4
Add the sugar and black pepper to the sautéed garlic and cook together. The sugar will mellow the flavors, and the pepper will add a pleasant aroma. Stir and cook until the sugar is fully dissolved.
Step 5
Push the cooked pork belly mixture to one side of the pan. Pour the soy sauce into the empty space and let it bubble for a moment. Once the soy sauce starts to simmer, quickly mix it with the pork belly and stir-fry everything together. Briefly simmering the soy sauce enhances its savory depth.
Step 6
Finally, add all the chopped chives to the pan. Stir-fry with the pork belly mixture just until the chives are slightly wilted – the key is to keep them crisp! Once the chives are tender-crisp, turn off the heat. Place a bowl of hot cooked rice and drizzle with 1/2 Tbsp of sesame oil. Top generously with the prepared chive and pork belly mixture. Sprinkle with 1/2 Tbsp of sesame seeds for a final touch. Your delicious Chive and Pork Belly Rice Bowl is ready to enjoy!
