Grilled Pork Belly Rice Bowl

Step 1

Slice the 1 lb pork belly into 1/4-inch thick pieces. In a bowl, mix 3 tbsp fish sauce, 2 tbsp brown sugar, and 2 minced garlic cloves. Add pork and marinate for 15 minutes.

Step 2

Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the pork in a single layer, about 3-4 minutes per side, until charred and caramelized. Work in batches if needed to avoid crowding.

Step 3

While pork cooks, divide the 2 cups cooked rice between two bowls. Top with 1 cup bean sprouts and 1 cup microgreens.

Step 4

Once pork is done, slice it into bite-sized strips and arrange over the rice bowls.

Step 5

Garnish with 1/4 cup chopped peanuts and optional sliced red chili or green onions. Drizzle with extra fish sauce or a squeeze of lime if desired.

Step 6

Serve immediately, mixing everything together so the dressing coats the rice and toppings.
