Serve: 1
Ingredients for marinated Pork belly:
100 gram Pork belly
1 tbs Dark soy sauce
1 tbs Coconut sugar
1 tbs Honey
1 pinch Ground black pepper
Ingredients for fried rice and garnish:
50 gram Wind-dried pork sausage – thinly sliced
250 gram Cooked Thai Jasmine rice
50 gram Green mango – julienne cut
25 gram Raw green beans – thinly sliced
4 Raw king prawn
1 Egg
2 clove Garlic – finely chopped
2 tbs Coconut oil
3/4 tbs Thai shrimp paste
¼ Red onion – thinly sliced
¼ Red chilli – thinly sliced
¼ Lemon/lime
Method
-Put the pork belly, dark soy sauce, coconut sugar and ground black pepper into a bowl. Mix well and leave it to marinate for at least 1 hour.
-Once ready to cook. Preheat the oven to 250 Celsius. Put the marinated pork belly on a baking tray then drizzle the honey on the pork. Bake in the oven for 10 minutes then turn the heat down to 200 Celsius and bake until cooked (approx 20 minutes).
-Whilst waiting for the pork belly to be cooked, put one tablespoon of the coconut oil into a pan, then add the sausage and fry until it’s cooked. Usually, it will take about 10-12 minutes. Remove the sausage from the pan onto a kitchen paper to absorb all the grease.
-Use the same pan and gently fry the prawns for 2-3 minutes. Remove the prawns onto kitchen paper. Then fry the egg and put all of these garnishes aside.
-In a different pan, put 1 tablespoon of the coconut oil and gently fry the garlic and shrimp paste for approx 2-3 minutes. Make sure you flatten the paste and do not leave any lumps.
-Add the cooked rice and stir-fry together until the rice is well heated and the ingredients are combined.
-Transfer the fried rice on a serving plate. Squeeze the lemon juice on top.
-Garnish the dish with the sliced pork belly, sausage, shrimps, mango, red onion, green beans, red chilli and fried egg on the top. Serve immediately.
Tips:
* Try to get Thai produce of the Wind- dried pork sausage and shrimp paste , as it has got specific flavours which this dish requires.
– Don’t like the fried eggs? The authentic Khao-Kluk-Kapi recipe uses Thai style scramble egg instead of fried egg. They are both delicious.
