As he spoke, he put the pork belly into the pot to render the fat, then added the soybeans and stir-fried them until crispy.
Remove the crispy soybeans from the pan, then put the freshly cooked pork belly back in to render the oil.
Next, add a bell pepper grown in the rooftop flowerbed to the pot and continue to stir-fry it with the pork belly until the bell pepper turns a tiger-skin color. Then sprinkle some barbecue powder on top.
