Stir Fry Pasta:
Heat up pan with some cooking oil and shallow fry the salted fish until golden brown.
Drain and set aside the salted fish. Retain the oil in pan.
Add in diced red onion and stir fry until soften. Then add in the sliced ginger and dry chillies. Continue to stir fry until fragrant. Lastly add in the marinated pork belly and water.
Bring the mixture to a boil and continue to simmer for another 4 minutes. Then add in the cooked pasta directly into the pan and toss to coat well. Garnish with green basil leaves and serve immediately. So Enjoy!
To thinly slice the pork belly, it's better to have the pork belly half frozen where the outer is harden and the centre is still soft.Make sure the pasta is cooked to al dente as we still need to stir fry it. Otherwise, the spaghetti will end up too soft.
