Chewy rice noodles are stir-fried with tender pork belly, leafy greens, and onions in a rich, savory sauce. This easy pork belly hor fun recipe is ready in just 30 minutes in one pan. I briefly boil the rice noodles until al dente so they finish cooking in the sauce without turning mushy.
Bring a large pot of water to a boil over high heat. Add the dried rice noodles and boil for 5-6 minutes, or according to package directions, until al dente but still slightly firm. Drain well and set aside.
In a small bowl, mix the noodle sauce ingredients until the sugar dissolves. Set aside.
Heat vegetable oil in a large pan or wok over medium-high heat. Add the sliced pork belly and stir-fry until the fat begins to render and the meat is mostly cooked through, but not crispy.
Add the garlic, white onion, green onions, and yu choy sum. Stir-fry for about 1 minute until the onions begin to soften and the greens start to wilt.
Push the pork and vegetables to one side of the pan. Add the drained rice noodles and prepared sauce. Gently toss everything together until the noodles are evenly coated.
Stir-fry until the noodles are tender but still chewy, most of the sauce has been absorbed, and the pork is fully cooked. Serve hot.
Notes
If using fresh rice noodles instead of dried ones, use 14 oz / 400 g for a serving of 3. If they're firm or stuck together, microwave them until warm and pliable, then gently separate the strands. Skip the boiling step and reduce the stir-frying time to prevent them from becoming mushy.
