Ingredients

  • 300 g pork belly skin-on
  • 1 tbsp salt for the skin
  • 2 cups cauliflower rice
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tbsp avocado oil
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tsp sesame oil
  • 1 tsp rice vinegar
  • 2 scallions thinly sliced
  • 1 tsp sesame seeds toasted

Instructions

  • Pat the pork belly skin very dry and score in a crosshatch pattern. Rub salt generously into the skin.
  • Roast at 220C (425F) for 35-40 minutes until the skin is deeply crackled and golden, then rest 5 minutes and slice thinly.
  • While the pork roasts, steam or saute the cauliflower rice in a splash of water until tender, 5-6 minutes.
  • Heat avocado oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Fry the eggs sunny-side up until the whites are set and edges crispy.
  • Whisk together soy sauce, sesame oil, and rice vinegar for the drizzle.
  • Divide cauliflower rice between bowls, top with sliced pork belly and a fried egg. Drizzle with the soy dressing and scatter with scallions and sesame seeds.

Notes

Chef's Tip: A very dry, well-salted skin is the whole secret to true crackling - pat it dry the night before and leave it uncovered in the fridge if you have time. Keto Swaps: cauliflower rice replaces steamed rice entirely, keeping this a genuinely low-carb bowl.
