Instructions:
1. Prepare the pork belly: In a pan, heat 1 tablespoon of cooking oil over medium heat. Add the pork belly cubes and cook until golden brown and slightly crispy on all sides. Remove the pork belly from the pan and set aside.
2. Stir-fry aromatics: In the same pan, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of cooking oil. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant (about 30 seconds).
3. Add long beans: Add the long beans to the pan and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until they turn slightly tender-crisp.
4. Combine and season: Return the cooked pork belly to the pan. Add the soy sauce, oyster sauce, sugar, and black pepper. Stir well to combine and coat the long beans and pork belly evenly with the sauce.
5. Simmer: Reduce the heat to low and simmer for another 2-3 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly and the flavors to meld.
6. Serve: Serve hot. You can garnish with chopped green onions if desired.
Tips and Variations:
– For a spicier dish, add a pinch of chili flakes or a chopped chili pepper along with the garlic.
– You can adjust the amount of soy sauce and oyster sauce to your liking.
– If you prefer a less oily dish, you can reduce the amount of cooking oil.
– Feel free to add other vegetables to the stir-fry, such as sliced mushrooms or bell peppers.
