Instructions

Step 1

Slice your pork belly into small strips, around half an inch wide.

Step 2

Place your belly pork into a bowl and add in your garlic granules, soy sauces, and sesame oil. Give everything a good toss and then add it into your air fryer drawer.

Step 3

Air fry at 160C for 10 minutes. After that, air fry at 190C for 5 minutes. Make sure to keep an eye on your pork belly because every air fryer is different. Give it a good shake every 5 minutes.

Step 4

If you don't have an air fryer, simply place a frying pan on your hob, add in your pork belly with a lid, and fry for 15 minutes on medium heat, stirring occasionally.

Step 5

Into a large frying pan or wok, add a tablespoon of oil followed by your finely chopped lemongrass and coconut milk. Fry for 3 minutes.

Step 6

Add in your 2 eggs and stir until the eggs are scrambled.

Step 7

Gently pour in your leftover rice or packet of rice and combine.

Step 8

Pour in soy sauce, sprinkle in sugar, and top with your spring onions. Give everything a good stir and fry for a further few minutes.

Step 9

Turn the heat down and wait until your pork belly is ready.

Step 10

Once your pork belly is crispy and delicious, add it into your fried rice, combine, and enjoy!
