Sizzling Pork Belly Plate – 20-Minute Dinner
Back with another 20-MINUTE DINNER, Sizzling Pork Belly Plate. If you don’t have time but want a delicious and easy dinner, you must try my Sizzling Pork Belly. The sauce is the perfect balance between savory and sweet and will get you craving for more. Enjoy with rice or udon noodles, plus my go-to, FRIED EGG.
Restaurant-Style Sizzling Pork Belly Plate
I went to dinner with my in-laws last week, and my father-in-law ordered Sizzling Pork Belly Plate; I instantly regretted my order.
The pork belly was super tender, the sauce was addicting, and it was honestly the perfect dinner. When I got home, I knew I had to recreate the Sizzling Pork Belly, but make it easy and quick.
After a few attempts, I am proud to say; that this is an identical copycat recipe that takes less than 20 minutes to make at home!
Pork Belly Rice Plate Ingredients
- 1 lb pork belly thinly sliced
- 1 onion sliced
- 3 green onion cut into 2-inch pieces
- 3 tablespoon Soy Sauce
- 0.5 tablespoon dashi powder
- 2 tablespoon honey
- 0.5 tsp Black Pepper
Sizzling Plate Sauce
All you need to make the sauce for Sizzling Pork Belly Plate is soy sauce, honey, black pepper, and the secret ingredient, DASHI POWDER. Dashi powder instantly elevates the sauce and provides the sauce with a deep umami flavor. If you have never used dashi powder before, a little goes a long way and is super affordable.
I’m using hot-pot sliced pork belly for this recipe. But, this sweet-savory sauce also goes well with seafood, beef, and chicken if you choose to mix up your proteins for this rice plate!
Carb Options For Sizzling Plate
You can enjoy Sizzling Pork Belly Plate with rice or noodles. Once the pork is cooked, move a well in the middle and add cooked rice or noodle.
Topped with fried egg, and set everything on the sizzling plate for 2-3 minutes; the rice will become super crispy at the bottom, adding amazing texture.
After 2-3 minutes, mix everything so the rice is coated in the sauce and pork belly. For noodles, you can use chow mein noodles, udon noodles, or shanghai noodles. I like udon noodles since it soaks up all the sauce, making it super delicious!
How To Make Sizzling Pork Belly Plate
- Mix soy sauce, dashi powder, honey, and black pepper.
- In a pan, drizzle in oil and turn the heat to medium-high. Add sliced onion, and saute for 3-4 minutes or until translucent.
- Next, add thinly sliced pork belly, and drizzle in the sauce. Turn the heat to high, and saute for 4 minutes.
- Finally, add in alot of green onion, and saute on high heat for another 2-3 minutes.
- Optional, make a well in the middle, add cooked rice or noodles, top with fried egg, and let it sizzle for another 2-3 minutes so the rice becomes crispy. Mix everything and enjoy!

I bought a packet of dashi powder just for this! Really good flavor. Thank you!
Hi there! I only have the Ajinomoto Hondashi soup stock granules on hand – can I use that instead of dashi powder?
Hi Carla! That’s actually exactly what you need, just follow the measurements for dashi powder and you should be all set!
My family loved this!I discovered it because hubby bought a pack of thin slice pork belly and I didn’t really know what to do with it. My 5 yo is normally a nightmare with anything different when it comes to food, but he devoured it and wanted more. I had no dashi powder, never heard of it but will get some for next time! I substituted with oyster sauce for umami, it worked well. Also threw it some steed veggies. Delicious 😋
Hi Tiffy. How did you get the rice crispy in just 2 or 3 minutes?
Hi Teresa, here’s a couple of tips:
1. When making the wells, try to make sure that the middle of the pan has some of that oil from pork belly, which will crisp up the rice.
2. When adding the rice, try pressing it to be a little flatter. Then, leave it alone to let the rice crisp.
3. If fresh rice doesn’t work here, try day-old rice from the fridge. Fresh rice has a lot of moisture, which will make it a little soggier.
Let me know if these tips work!
