Method

For the Lechon

  1. 1

    Prepare the Pork Belly

    Score the skin of the pork belly in a crisscross pattern. Rub salt, black pepper, minced garlic, and chopped lemon grass into the meat. Let it marinate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight.

  2. 2

    Roast the Lechon

    Preheat the oven to 250°C (475°F). Place the marinated pork belly in a roasting pan. Roast for about 1.5 to 2 hours or until the skin is crispy and the meat is cooked through. Baste with cooking oil halfway through the roasting time.

For the Rice

  1. 3

    Cook the Rice

    Rinse the jasmine rice under cold water until the water runs clear. In a medium pot, combine the rinsed rice, water, and salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and cover. Cook for 15-20 minutes or until the water is absorbed and the rice is fluffy.

For the Gravy

  1. 4

    Prepare the Gravy

    In a saucepan, combine the beef broth, soy sauce, and black pepper. In a small bowl, mix cornstarch with water to create a slurry. Bring the broth mixture to a simmer and slowly whisk in the cornstarch slurry. Cook until the gravy thickens, about 3-5 minutes. Adjust seasoning if needed.

For the Egg

  1. 5

    Fry the Eggs

    Heat a small amount of cooking oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Crack the eggs into the pan and season with salt. Cook until the whites are set but the yolks are still runny, about 3-4 minutes. For over-easy eggs, flip and cook for an additional minute.
