FLUFFY RICE
Place the rice in a pot with 200ml [400ml]|#7DA0D7 of salted water. Cover with a lid and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer until the water has been absorbed, about 10 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside to steam, 8-10 minutes. Fluff with a fork and cover.
TIME TO SUC-SEED
Place the sesame seeds in a pan with a lid over medium heat. Toast for 2-3 minutes until lightly browned, shifting occasionally. Remove from the pan and set aside.
CHARRED CAULI
Return the pan to medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil or a knob of butter. Add the cauliflower pieces and fry for 5-6 minutes until lightly charred. Add a splash of water, cover with the lid, and simmer for 1-2 minutes until al dente. Remove from the pan, season, and cover to keep warm.
PERFECT PORK BELLY
In a small bowl, combine the Chinese sauce, the Chinese 5-spice, the Ginger, and 20ml [40ml]|#7DA0D7 of water. Return the pan to a medium-high heat. Pat the pork belly chunks dry with paper towel. Add the pork chunks and sear for 3-5 minutes per side (the pork will render its own fat) or until browned and cooked through. Reduce the heat to medium, pour the Chinese sauce mix over the pork and simmer for 3-5 minutes until slightly reduced. Remove from the heat, add the cooked cauliflower and toss until well coated. Cover to keep warm.
LAY THE FOUNDATION
Crack 1 [2]|#7DA0D7 egg/s into a bowl. Add seasoning and whisk until combined. Place a clean pan (large enough for the rice) over a medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. Add the whisked egg/s and fry for 1-2 minutes until cooked through and scrambled, shifting constantly. Add the cooked rice, ½ the spring onion, ½ the sesame seeds, and ½ the Chilli (to taste). Remove from the heat and season.
GET IN MY BELLY!
Plate up the egg fried rice and the top with the saucy pork belly pieces & cauliflower. Drizzle over any remaining sauce from the pan. Garnish with the remaining spring onion, sesame seeds, and Chilli (to taste). Well done, Chef!
