Stir-fried Pork Belly with Spring Onion




This morning I was very busy.  Today is the first day I start to be a volunteer at Oxfam.  I find people here are very kind-hearted and generous.  There are many bags of items donated by them within 3-4 hours, like books, shoes, clothes, accessories, sports equipment, toys, etc.  Some of them are new and even unpacked.  Some are with famous brand names.  The other volunteers are very helpful and friendly.  I had a very good morning to be there. 

When I finished my work, it was about 2 o’clock.  Then I rushed back home and made a quick and simple lunch – fried pork belly with spring onions and a bowl of egg noodles.  The pork belly is succulent and it is a nice pair to fry with spring onions.  I enjoy cooking for ‘one’ again.




Preparation time: 10 minutes
Cooking time: 10 minutes
Serve: 1

Ingredients:
100g pork belly (shredded)
3 spring onions (diagonal cut)
1 garlic clove (sliced)
½ small red chili (sliced and seeded)  
1 shallot (sliced)
1 tsp oil

Seasoning:
 ½ tsp sugar
1 tsp soy sauce
½ tsp white wine
1 tsp sesame oil


Sauce:
1 tsp soy sauce
1.5 tsp oyster sauce
1 tsp white wine

Method:

1.
Season the pork belly with sugar, soy sauce, white wine and sesame oil.  Mix the sauce ingredients in a small bowl and set aside.

2.
Divide the spring onion into two small bowls, one bowl is for the white parts and another is for the green parts. 

3.
Heat oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat.  Add garlic and white parts of spring onion in the pan and stir-fry for one minute.  Then put the pork inside the pan and stir-fry for another 3-4 minutes.

4.
In the meantime, add the shallot and green parts of spring onion inside the pan and continue to stir-fry for another 2 minutes.

5.
Pour the mixed sauce ingredients and red chili into the pan and stir-fry for 1 minute.

6.
Serve with rice or noodles.
