Curry Potato
Pork Belly Stir-fry

A rich and satisfying home-style curry stir-fry featuring tender caramelized pork belly, soft potatoes, and vibrant vegetables in a thick, savory sauce.

Ingredients

• 300 g pork belly
• 2 potatoes
• 1 carrot
• 1 green pepper
• 1 stalk green onion
• 2 cloves garlic
• 1 tsp sugar
• 1 tbsp light soy sauce
• 1 tbsp cooking wine
• 1 tbsp oyster sauce
• 1 block curry block
• as needed water

Instructions

1. 1Caramelize the Pork Belly

   

   Heat oil in the wok, add a little sugar, then add the diced pork belly and stir-fry until it caramelizes and becomes slightly seared.

   Tip: Adding sugar before the pork belly helps achieve a beautiful caramelized color and enhances flavor.
2. 2Sauté Aromatics

   

   Add the chopped green onion and garlic directly into the wok with the browned pork belly and stir-fry until they release their fragrance.

   Tip: Make sure the pork is sufficiently browned before adding aromatics so they dont burn.
3. 3Mix in Vegetables

   

   Add the uniform dice of potatoes, carrots, and green peppers into the wok, mixing and stir-frying well with the pork belly and aromatics.

   Tip: Cut the vegetables into uniform dice so they cook evenly together.
4. 4Season with Soy Sauce and Wine

   

   Turn up the heat and continue stir-frying until the vegetables are cooked, then pour light soy sauce and cooking wine over the mixture according to taste.

   Tip: Remember that curry blocks already contain salt, so adjust the soy sauce quantity accordingly.
5. 5Enhance with Oyster Sauce

   

   Drizzle oyster sauce into the wok to add an extra layer of umami depth and continue stir-frying the ingredients together.

   Tip: Oyster sauce adds a rich umami depth that complements the curry flavor.
6. 6Simmer Until Tender

   

   Add enough water to cover the potatoes, drop in a block of curry, cover with a lid, and simmer for about ten minutes until the sauce thickens and the potatoes soften.

   Tip: Stir occasionally while simmering to prevent the curry from sticking to the bottom of the wok.
7. 7Add curry block

   

   Add enough water to cover the potatoes, drop a block of solid curry into the simmering wok, and start simmering.

   Tip: Ensure the water level is enough to fully submerge and dissolve the curry block.
