Twice-Cooked Pork with Potatoes and Green Peppers

About This Recipe

This crispy pork belly stir-fry with potatoes and green peppers is a mouthwatering dish that combines rich flavors and satisfying textures. Juicy pork belly is pan-fried to golden perfection, releasing its natural oils for a crispy, caramelized bite. Tender potato slices soak up the savory seasonings, while fresh green peppers add a vibrant crunch. Aromatic garlic and a blend of light soy sauce, thirteen spices, and a hint of sugar create a bold, umami-packed sauce that coats every ingredient. The key to this dish lies in the technique—crisping the pork belly first, then layering flavors by stir-frying the potatoes until tender before simmering everything together for maximum depth. Perfectly balanced between hearty and fresh, this stir-fry is a comforting yet exciting meal that’s quick to prepare but tastes like it took hours. Serve it hot for a deliciously crispy, savory, and slightly spicy dish that will have everyone reaching for seconds!
