I love fried rice and this is a great variation for you to try. Japanese style fried rice includes garlic and pork belly. It's delicious, trust me.
Ingredients
- 200g (7 oz) pork belly, skin off and diced
- 6 cloves garlic, finely diced
- 2 spring onions, finely sliced
-
small knob of ginger, finely grated
- 2 eggs, whisked
- 3 tbsp peanut oil
-
pinch of salt
-
small pinch of white pepper
-
pinch of MSG
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 2 cups (approximately 475g) cooked, cold medium grain rice
Directions
Place a wok or large frying pan on a medium heat and add the oil.
- 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.
- Now add the pork belly to the wok with a pinch of salt, and cook until golden brown. Remove and set aside, retaining the fat.
- Add the eggs to the wok and scramble. Once done, set them aside.
- 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.
- Return the pork and eggs to the wok and cook for another 2 minutes.
- Season with salt, pepper, MSG, and soy sauce, then cook for an additional minute.
- Finally, add the garlic, give everything one last toss, and it's ready to serve.
