About

This Stir-fry of pork belly, dried squid, tofu, and celery produces an appetizing mix of crisp and chewy textures that has found favor with Taiwanese customers.

A couple of the ingredients in this dish need some advance preparation. Boil the pork belly and soak the dried squid before Stir-frying. These steps take only an hour, but for a head start, prepare them a day ahead and refrigerate overnight.
