A savory and spicy stir-fry featuring tender pork belly slices seared with fresh green and red peppers, seasoned simply with salt to enhance the natural flavors.
Story
This dish highlights the rich taste of pork belly paired with the mild heat of fresh peppers. The key is to slice the meat thinly so it renders its fat and crisps up beautifully in the pan.
Ingredients
Instructions
Prep the Pork
Take the pork belly out of the freezer to thaw slightly. Slice the meat into thin pieces, about 2-3mm thick. Let them set at room temperature while you prepare the vegetables.
Slice the Vegetables
Wash the green and red peppers. Remove the stems and seeds, then cut them into slices that are roughly the same size as the pork pieces.
Sear the Pork
Heat a wok or skillet over medium-high heat. Add the pork belly slices and stir-fry until the fat renders and the edges turn golden and slightly crispy.
Combine and Season
Toss in the sliced peppers. Continue to stir-fry for a few minutes until the peppers are tender-crisp. Sprinkle with salt, mix well to coat everything evenly, and serve hot.
