place the pork belly slices on a wok with little water and salt. let boil until water evaporated and pork renders its own oil. cook until golden brown.

take away the cooked pork slices and drain on paper towel. set aside.

in the same wok saute onion, garlic and ginger until fragrant. add the tausi and oyster sauce. continue mixing for 1 minute.
