Tips for Chinese Style Pork Belly and Tomato Stir-Fry with Eggs

  • Look for browned edges on the pork and glossy, softened tomato; the eggs should remain tender rather than dry.
  • Use a wide skillet so the pork browns instead of steams, and avoid crowding the pan.
  • Have the sauces and garnish ready before cooking; the brief final toss can overcook eggs if delayed.

Drink pairing

A dry, crisp lager
Its clean, refreshing finish balances the pork belly’s richness and complements the savory sauce.

0% option: Sparkling water with a squeeze of lime

Storage

Refrigerate leftovers within 2 hours in a covered container and keep for 3–4 days. Reheat until steaming hot; the eggs may become firmer.

Frequently asked questions

How can I tell when the pork belly is cooked?

It should be browned with crisp edges and no raw-looking areas; thin slices cook quickly.

Why did my eggs turn dry?

They likely cooked too long. Take the pan off the heat once the eggs are just set, since residual heat continues cooking them.

Can I prepare this ahead?

It is best cooked just before serving so the eggs stay tender and the pork retains its browned texture. You can chop the tomato and garlic ahead.
