Step 1
Cut the 1 lb pork shoulder into 1-inch cubes and pat dry with paper towels. Season with salt and pepper.
Step 2
Heat 2 tbsp vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the pork cubes in a single layer and fry until golden and crispy on all sides, about 8-10 minutes. Remove and set aside.
Step 3
In the same skillet, pour in the 1 cup coconut milk and 0.5 tsp red chili flakes. Scrape up any browned bits and simmer until slightly thickened, about 3-4 minutes.
Step 4
Slice the 1 red bell pepper into thin strips and chop the 3 green onions. Add the bell pepper to the sauce and cook for 2 minutes until just tender.
Step 5
Return the crispy pork to the skillet, toss to coat in the sauce, and cook for 1 minute. Serve over the 2 cups cooked white rice and top with the chopped green onions.
