      Instructions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
      <\/div>\n\n\n\n

      1. Prepare the Rice:<\/strong> Break up any clumps in the cold rice with your fingers. Set aside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      <\/div>\n\n\n\n

      2. Cook the Pork Belly:<\/strong> Heat a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat. Add the pork belly pieces and cook for 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and crispy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      <\/div>\n\n\n\n

      4. Saut\u00e9 Aromatics:<\/strong> Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil to the wok. Add the garlic, onion, and white parts of the green onions. Stir-fry for 1 to 2 minutes until fragrant. Add the peas and carrots and stir-fry for another minute.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      <\/div>\n\n\n\n

      5. Add the Rice:<\/strong> Add the cold rice to the wok, breaking up any remaining clumps. Stir-fry for 3 to 4 minutes until the rice is heated through and starts to get slightly crispy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      <\/div>\n\n\n\n

      6. Season the Rice:<\/strong> Add the soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, and white pepper. Toss to combine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      <\/div>\n\n\n\n

      7. Combine and Serve:<\/strong> Return the crispy pork and scrambled eggs to the wok. Add the green parts of the green onions. Toss to combine. Serve immediately, garnished with sesame seeds if desired.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      <\/div>\n\n\n\n
