Steps
- 1
Slice the purchased pork belly into strips first. I personally like the traditional Taiwanese cut into thin strips, but you can cut it to your preferred texture!
- 2
Over medium heat, stir-fry the pork belly until golden brown.
- 3
Add the chopped shallots and stir-fry until fragrant. I feel shallots are the soul of a successful braised pork rice!
- 4
After the shallots are fragrant, add minced garlic and minced green onions to stir-fry!
- 5
Add rock sugar (or brown sugar) and stir-fry to color.
- 6
Before adding soy sauce, you can also add a little rice wine to remove gameiness.
- 7
Add oyster sauce and stir-fry; oyster sauce is sweet, so adjust according to your taste.
- 8
Transfer the sautéed pork to a pot, add water to submerge the meat, bring to a boil over high heat, then turn to medium-low heat and simmer for 40-60 minutes!
- 9
According to personal preference, you can also add braised eggs, minced green onions, or cilantro!
