    • ¼ cup reduced sodium soy sauce

    Use leftover diced pork belly for this recipe. Alternatively, both Trader Joe’s and Costco sell fully cooked pork belly that works perfectly in this recipe. (Learn more: Costco pork belly)

    Jasmine rice, basmati rice, white rice, brown rice, or whatever day-old rice you have should work in this recipe. I used white basmati rice.
