Pork Belly Stir Fry (Thit Heo Quay xao)

Is anyone else experiencing the swine flu as I am? No I am not talking about the kind that is hazardous to your health, the kind of fever you get from eating such a wonderful dish such as this....


Many times over during the day,night, and in between, I find myself scouring the fridge for something to eat. I might not even be hungry, perhaps drowning in boredom and therefore I substitute my boredom for food adventures. Too lazy to prep, too frugal to go out and buy something so where does that leave me? Recycling my left overs into a 5 star meal, well at least in my eyes.... What I have here is roasted pork belly stir fried w/leftover asparagus, how can I let a good meal go to waste? Perhaps my ingenuity saved me from having Ramen for dinner, I don't know,maybe its just me but I feel I am way past ramen w/an egg for dinner. Let me show you how I worked my leftovers into a halfway decent dinner:

Ingredients:
Left over roasted pork belly (this could be found at your local Asian grocery store)
Left over asparagus
2 tablespoons of cooking oil
3 tablespoons of soy sauce
2 tablespoons of brown sugar
1 tablespoons of black pepper
1/4 teaspoon of Chinese 5 spice powder(optional)


Method for cooking:
  1. Heat your wok/skillet
  2. Add cooking oil
  3. Add your pork
  4. Add brown sugar
  5. add 5 spice
  6. Add soy sauce
  7. Toss in your wok/your spatula 
  8. Add your already cooked asparagus
  9. Taste,add and adjust to your likings
  10. Add black pepper serve w/rice
Enjoy, Bon Apetit!
