Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a skillet over medium-high. Add 8 oz pork belly slices and cook until browned and crispy, about 4 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate.

  2. Step 2

    In the same skillet, add 1 cup cooked grains and 1 tbsp olive oil. Stir-fry until heated through and slightly toasted, about 3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.

  3. Step 3

    Slice 2 green onions thinly. Stir half into the grains, reserving the rest for garnish.

  4. Step 4

    Bring a small pot of water to a gentle simmer. Crack 2 eggs into a cup, then slide them into the water. Poach until whites are set but yolks are runny, about 3 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon.

  5. Step 5

    Divide the grain salad between two plates. Top with pork belly, a poached egg, sprinkle with 1 tsp paprika and the remaining green onions. Serve immediately.
