How to Stir-Fry Pork Belly with Green Peppers

Stir-fried pork belly with green peppers is a beloved Asian dish, celebrated for its perfect balance of savory, crispy, and fresh flavors. Here’s a simple yet delicious recipe to recreate it at home.

Ingredients:

- 200g pork belly, thinly sliced

- 2-3 green peppers, deseeded and cut into strips

- 3 cloves garlic, minced

- 1 tbsp soy sauce

- 1 tsp oyster sauce

- ½ tsp sugar

- 1 tbsp vegetable oil

- Salt to taste

Steps:

1. Prep the meat: Marinate the sliced pork belly with 1 tsp soy sauce and a pinch of salt for 15 minutes to enhance flavor.

2. Stir-fry pork: Heat oil in a wok over medium-high heat. Add the pork belly and stir-fry until golden and slightly crispy (about 4-5 minutes). Remove and set aside.

3. Cook aromatics: In the same wok, sauté minced garlic until fragrant (30 seconds). Add green pepper strips and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until tender-crisp.

4. Combine and season: Return the pork to the wok. Add the remaining soy sauce, oyster sauce, and sugar. Toss everything together for 1 minute, ensuring the peppers are coated in the sauce.

5. Serve: Dish out immediately and enjoy hot with steamed rice!

Tips: For extra crunch, blanch green peppers in boiling water for 30 seconds before stir-frying. Adjust seasoning based on your preference—spice lovers can add a dash of chili flakes. This quick, flavorful dish is sure to become a family favorite!
