Homemade Spicy Rice Sauce

A savory, fiery homemade meat-based sauce packed with pork belly, minced meat, dried shrimp, shiitake mushrooms, and vibrant chili oil.

Ingredients

• 300 g pork belly
• 200 g lean meat
• 30 g dried shrimp
• 4 cloves garlic
• 1 onion
• 5 shiitake mushrooms
• 2 tomatoes
• 4 birds eye chili
• 2 tbsp bean paste
• 1 tbsp light soy sauce
• 1 tbsp chili powder
• 1 tsp ground spices
• 1 tbsp white sesame seeds
• 2 tbsp chili oil
• to taste cooking oil

Instructions

1. 1Heat Oil and Stir-Fry Pork Belly

   

   Heat the wok, pour in oil, and add diced pork belly. Stir-fry the pork belly until it turns golden brown.

   Tip: Ensure the oil is adequately hot before adding the pork belly to achieve a golden sear.
2. 2Stir-Fry Meat Pieces

   

   Continue stir-frying the pork pieces along with the base mixture in the wok until they achieve a rich golden brown color.

   Tip: Stir continuously to ensure even browning across all meat pieces.
3. 3Fry Dried Shrimp

   

   Place dried shrimp into hot oil using a strainer basket and fry them until they become slightly dry and fragrant.

   Tip: Fry on medium heat to prevent the small dried shrimp from burning too quickly.
4. 4Sauté Garlic and Onion

   

   Add minced garlic and diced onion to the hot oil and stir-fry until they begin to change color and release their aroma.

   Tip: Keep the heat moderate so the garlic infuses the oil without turning bitter.
5. 5Add Mushrooms, Tomatoes, and Chili

   

   Toss in chopped shiitake mushrooms, diced tomatoes, and red chili pieces, continuing to stir-fry until the moisture evaporates and the oil turns clear.

   Tip: Cook down the tomatoes completely until their moisture releases and evaporates for a rich base.
6. 6Add Sauce Seasonings

   

   Pour dark-colored sauce seasoning and other flavorings into the pan with the cooked meat and vegetable mixture, stirring thoroughly.

   Tip: Mix well to ensure every ingredient absorbs the savory seasonings evenly.
7. 7Add white sauce paste and chili powder

   

   Add a scoop of white sauce paste and a large spoonful of chili powder directly into the wok with the simmering ingredients. Stir well to combine all the intense flavors and evenly distribute the spices into the sauce base.

   Tip: Add the chili powder gradually if you prefer a milder spice level.
8. 8Garnish with white sesame seeds

   

   Sprinkle a generous amount of white sesame seeds over the bubbling sauce mixture while continuously stirring. This adds a nutty aroma and a pleasant texture to complete the savory rice sauce.

   Tip: Toast the sesame seeds lightly beforehand for an even richer aroma.
