Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Toss pork belly with brown sugar, soy sauce, and vinegar in a bowl until evenly coated. Let sit 5 minutes.

  2. Step 2

    Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add pork and cook, stirring occasionally, until deeply caramelized and edges crisp, about 10 minutes.

  3. Step 3

    Push pork to the side of the skillet. Crack eggs into the empty space and cook until whites set but yolks still jiggle, 3–4 minutes.

  4. Step 4

    Divide rice between two bowls. Top with tocino, drippings, and a fried egg. Serve immediately.
