Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare Rice

    Rinse the rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Soak the rice in water for at least 30 minutes, then drain.

  2. 2

    Prepare Pork Belly

    Cut the pork belly into small cubes. Season with salt and pepper. Set aside.

  3. 3

    Rehydrate Dried Shrimp and Mushrooms

    Soak the dried shrimp and mushrooms in warm water for about 20 minutes until softened. Drain and chop the mushrooms into small pieces.

  4. 4

    Prepare Vegetables

    Peel and julienne the carrots. Chop the green onions finely.

Cooking

  1. 5

    Cook the Rice

    In a pot, combine the soaked rice and 4 cups of water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes or until water is absorbed and rice is cooked. Fluff with a fork and set aside.

  2. 6

    Sauté Pork Belly

    In a large pan, heat a tablespoon of oil over medium heat. Add the pork belly and cook until browned and crispy, about 5-7 minutes.

  3. 7

    Add Vegetables and Shrimp

    Add the chopped mushrooms, dried shrimp, and julienned carrots to the pan with pork belly. Stir-fry for about 5 minutes until vegetables are tender.

  4. 8

    Season the Mixture

    Pour in the fish sauce and sprinkle black pepper. Stir well to combine all ingredients. Cook for an additional 2 minutes.

  5. 9

    Combine with Rice

    Fold the cooked rice into the pork and vegetable mixture, ensuring everything is evenly mixed. Cook for another 3-5 minutes to heat through.

Serving
