  • 1 tablespoon sugar

Pork belly:

Method

  • Step 1

    Pat dry the pork belly on all sides with a paper towel. Prick holes all over the skin surface of the pork belly. Score the skin lightly in 1 inch strips lengthwise.

  • Step 2

    Mix the salt, white pepper and five spices. Sprinkle it on the bottom, sides, and top. Place it on a dish and put it into the fridge for an hour or more.

  • Step 3

    Preheat the oven to 350°F.

  • Step 4

    Take pork belly out of the fridge, and shake off any excess salt and seasoning. Pat dry any excess moisture that may have developed on the surface with a paper towel.

  • Step 5

    Place the pork belly on a rack on top of a parchment lined baking pan. Place that into the middle rack of the oven and let roast for 1 hour.

  • Step 6

    Remove from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes.

  • Step 7

    Slice pork belly first into 1-inch-long strips then cut that into 1 inch bite size pieces. Set it aside.

Fried rice:

  • Step 1

    While the pork belly is roasting in the oven, in a large wok or deep fry pan, drizzle in peanut and sesame oil. Toss in minced garlic and ginger.

  • Step 2

    Once the mixture starts to sizzle, add in your carrots, onions, green onion, and celery. Give it a good stir and sauté for 1 minute. Throw in the cabbage and stir-fry the mixture for 3 minutes or until the vegetables have softened.

  • Step 3

    In a small bowl combine the soy sauce, sesame oil, sugar and the Lee Kum Kee Sriracha chili sauce. Give it a whisk then pour half of that sauce into the pan and mix it into the vegetables with the sauce.

  • Step 4

    Toss in the cooked rice and stir fry on high heat for 1-2 minutes. Add the rest of the sauce and keep tossing it with a spatula, breaking up the rice.

  • Step 5

    Once completely combined, remove from heat.

Egg:

  • Step 1

    While the rice is frying, break two eggs in a bowl. Whisk and then heat up a small frying pan with a bit of peanut oil. Turn heat to a medium, when the oil heats up a bit, pour in the whisked eggs.

  • Step 2

    Swirl the beaten eggs around to coat the bottom of the pan then with a spatula flip the egg onto the other side carefully.

  • Step 3

    Remove from heat, and slide the egg onto a cutting board. Roll it up widthwise and slice it into slices. Set aside.

Plating:

  • Step 1

    Scoop rice into an oval serving platter. Top with the slices of egg and crispy pork.

  • Step 2

    Drizzle Lee Kum Kee Sriracha Chili sauce over the top along with sliced green onions.
