Farmhouse One-Bowl Fragrance

农家一碗香

Farmhouse One-Bowl Fragrance — a Hunan Chinese recipe made with pork belly, ready in about 30 minutes. Step-by-step instructions with photos.

Ingredients

• pork belly, skinless, diced 1.5 cm
• Chinese celery, chopped (stems only)
• dried red chillies, crushed
• light soy sauce
• garlic, minced

Instructions

1. Heat a wok over medium-high heat. Add pork belly and stir-fry without oil until fat renders and edges turn golden brown.
2. Push pork to one side. Add crushed dried chillies and minced garlic to the empty space; stir 15 seconds until fragrant.
3. Return pork to center. Add light soy sauce and stir-fry 30 seconds to coat evenly.
4. Add chopped Chinese celery. Stir-fry on high heat for 2 minutes until stalks soften but retain crunch.
5. Taste and adjust salt only if needed (soy sauce is usually sufficient). Serve immediately in a warm bowl.
