   🕒 06:44
2. Sprinkle 1 pinch of salt over the cut pork belly.
   🕒 06:56
3. Crack 1 whole egg into a bowl.
   🕒 07:30
4. Separate 1 egg yolk from another egg and add it to the bowl with the whole egg.
   🕒 07:38
5. Whisk the egg mixture thoroughly to create a rich egg sauce.
   🕒 09:17
6. Add 1 tbsp olive oil to a frying pan and heat it.
   🕒 10:01
7. Spread the 70g pork belly seasoned with salt into the heated frying pan and fry until crispy. 【Tip!】 Pork belly with more fat will result in a richer flavor. Imagine authentic guanciale.
   🕒 10:09
8. Once it's fried to some extent, turn off the heat and remove the frying pan from the stove.
   🕒 11:30
9. Bring a large pot of water to a boil.
   🕒 11:34
10. Once the water boils, add 15g salt to 1.5L water (approx. 1% salt concentration). 【Tip!】 For thick pasta, seasoning it well with salt during boiling helps the overall dish come together nicely.
    🕒 12:00
11. Boil the Oh My Premium Chewy Delicious Spaghetti 1.8mm 100g. 【Tip!】 Set the boiling time shorter than the package's 11 minutes, to 9 and a half minutes. This will result in perfect al dente when combined with the sauce.
    🕒 12:43
12. Tear 35g cheddar cheese into pieces.
    🕒 13:36
13. When the pasta is 2 minutes from being done, add 50cc of pasta cooking water to the frying pan with the pork belly that was removed from the heat.
    🕒 16:35
14. Add 5 dashes of Hy-Mi to the frying pan and mix.
    🕒 16:53
15. Add the torn 35g cheddar cheese and melt it.
    🕒 16:59
16. Transfer the boiled pasta to the frying pan and mix it with the cheese and sauce over medium heat, lightly reducing moisture. 【Tip!】 Since the pasta is firm, mix it as if making it absorb the sauce.
    🕒 17:09
17. Reduce the heat to low and pour in the whisked egg mixture.
    🕒 17:57
18. Turn off the heat and quickly mix with a rubber spatula to make the egg mixture semi-cooked. 【Tip!】 Turning off the heat and cooking the egg mixture with residual heat prevents lumps and results in a thick, rich sauce.
    🕒 18:17
19. Taste and adjust the seasoning with 1-2 pinches of salt if necessary.
    🕒 18:26
20. Serve on a plate and sprinkle generously with coarsely ground black pepper. 【Tip!】 Adding plenty of coarsely ground black pepper enhances the flavor and makes it even more delicious.
