Stir-fried Pork Belly with Pineapple: A Sweet, Tangy, and Flavorful Delight
Pork Belly and Pineapple Stir-fry: Perfect for Any Occasion
While we usually need soup with our meals, on days when it’s just too cold to cook, a warm, comforting broth is ideal. This recipe features a hearty scallion and egg soup, packed with seasonal green onions for a refreshing and deep flavor. (Note: The original input title mentions ‘Pork Belly and Pineapple Stir-fry’, but the provided description and recipe steps detail a ‘Scallion and Egg Soup’. Therefore, the translation is based on the detailed steps. This might differ from a typical Pork Belly and Pineapple Stir-fry recipe.)
Main Ingredients- Pork belly, thinly sliced (150g)
- Fresh pineapple, 5 pieces (or 1 cup canned pineapple slices)
- Generous amount of green onions (about 1 stalk)
- Onion, 1/4 (optional)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, prepare your fresh green onions. Wash them thoroughly, separating the white and green parts. Cut the white parts into 3-4 cm lengths and thinly slice the green parts. If using fresh pineapple, peel and core it, then cut into bite-sized pieces. If using canned pineapple, drain off some of the juice. If you’re adding onion, slice it thinly.
Step 2
This recipe pairs wonderfully with a simple Scallion and Egg Soup. To make the soup, pour 500ml of water into a pot and add 1 Tbsp of fish sauce for a depth of flavor.
Step 3
Once the broth begins to simmer, season it with salt and pepper to taste. Let it gently boil to allow the flavors to meld.
Step 4
Crack 4 eggs into a bowl and whisk them lightly with a fork or whisk. Slowly pour the beaten eggs into the simmering broth. They will cook into delicate ribbons or curds.
Step 5
As the egg begins to set, add the generous amount of prepared green onions (white parts) to the pot. This will infuse the broth with their fresh, slightly pungent flavor. (For the Pork Belly and Pineapple Stir-fry: At this stage, heat oil in a pan, stir-fry the pork belly, then add the onion, pineapple, and seasonings, stir-frying everything together.)
Step 6
Skim off any foam that rises to the surface of the soup with a spoon. This will make the broth clearer and taste cleaner.
Step 7
Finally, sprinkle some black pepper over the soup to enhance its aroma. You can add chopped scallion greens or a pinch of chili flakes for extra flavor if desired.
Step 8
And there you have it – a delicious Scallion and Egg Soup! The comforting broth, soft egg, and fresh green onions create a harmonious blend that will warm you up on a cold day. (For the Pork Belly and Pineapple Stir-fry: Serve hot over rice and mix well, or enjoy it as a side dish.)
