Ingredients
- pork belly - 200g (skin off and diced)
- garlic - 6 cloves (finely diced)
- spring onions - 2 (finely sliced)
- ginger - small knob (finely grated)
- eggs - 2 (whisked)
- peanut oil - 3 tbsp
- salt - pinch (plus extra to taste)
- white pepper - small pinch
- MSG - pinch
- soy sauce - 2 tbsp
- cooked, cold medium grain rice - 2 cups
Instructions
- Prepare the Wok: Place a wok or large frying pan on a medium heat and add the oil.
- Cook Garlic: Add the garlic and cook until it turns a golden colour and becomes crispy. Remove and set aside, pouring the garlic-infused oil back into the wok.
- Cook Pork Belly: Add the pork belly to the wok with a pinch of salt, and cook until golden brown. Remove and set aside, retaining the fat.
- Scramble Eggs: Add the eggs to the wok and scramble. Once done, set them aside.
- Cook Rice: On high heat, add some of the pork fat to the wok along with the spring onions, ginger, and rice. Cook for 1 minute, stirring to prevent sticking. You can add more fat if required.
- Combine Ingredients: Return the pork and eggs to the wok and cook for another 2 minutes.
- Season: Season with salt, pepper, MSG, and soy sauce, then cook for an additional minute.
- Final Touch: Finally, add the garlic, give everything one last toss, and it's ready to serve.
