A sweet and savory stir-fry using pork belly and chives. Coating the pork with egg and potato starch makes it surprisingly tender and juicy. Chef Koutaro Ken presents an easy-to-make, hearty dish that's perfect with rice.

Ingredients

Main Ingredients (2 servings)

  • Pork Belly (sliced) 200g
  • Chives 1/2 bunch
  • Egg 1
  • Potato Starch 4-5 tbsp
  • Vegetable Oil 2 tbsp

Seasonings

  • Grated Ginger 1 clove
  • Salt (pinch)
  • [A] Soy Sauce 2 tbsp
  • [A] Cooking Sake (Rice Wine) 2 tbsp
  • [A] Sugar 1 tbsp
  • [A] Vinegar 1/2 tbsp
  • Sesame Oil 1 tbsp

Steps

  1. In a bowl, add Pork Belly (sliced) 200g, Salt (pinch), and Grated Ginger 1 clove. Mix well.
  2. Add Egg 1 to the bowl with the pork and mix again thoroughly. Key Tip: Adding egg enhances the meat's richness, making it tender and moist.
  3. Next, add Potato Starch 4-5 tbsp and mix until the pork is thoroughly coated. Key Tip: Coating with potato starch seals in the meat's juices, ensuring a juicy finish.
  4. Wash Chives 1/2 bunch, trim the ends, and cut into 5cm lengths.
  5. In a separate bowl, combine Soy Sauce 2 tbsp, Cooking Sake (Rice Wine) 2 tbsp, Sugar 1 tbsp, and Vinegar 1/2 tbsp. Mix well to create the sauce.
  6. Heat Vegetable Oil 2 tbsp in a frying pan over medium heat.
  7. Add the prepared pork to the hot pan, spreading it out into bite-sized pieces. Cook until browned on both sides. Key Tip: Don't worry if the meat pieces are uneven. Spreading them out thinly helps them cook faster.
  8. Once the pork is cooked, add the chopped Chives and stir-fry briefly until they are incorporated. Key Tip: For a crisp texture, stir-fry quickly. For a softer texture, stir-fry longer.
  9. Pour in the prepared sauce and stir-fry until everything is well coated.
  10. Drizzle with Sesame Oil 1 tbsp as a finishing touch, give it a quick mix, and turn off the heat.
  11. Transfer to a plate and serve. Enjoy!
