Ingredients
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
4 whole cloves garlic, peeled and crushed with the side of a knife
10 to 15 Chinese dried red chiles
8 ounces air-dried, salt-cured pork belly or pancetta, thinly sliced into bite-size pieces
Dark green parts from 2 large leeks, washed and cut diagonally 1/2 inch thick
1 teaspoon sugar
1 tablespoon soy sauce
Instructions
Place a wok or large frying pan over medium heat and add the vegetable oil. When the oil is hot, add the garlic and chiles and stir-fry until fragrant, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the pork belly and stir-fry until the fat is translucent, about 3 minutes.
Tilt the wok to pour off all but 1 to 2 tablespoons of the fat. Add the leeks and stir-fry until tender, about 3 minutes.
Add the sugar and stir-fry for 1 minute more. Stir in the soy sauce and serve immediately.
