-While waiting for the pork belly to be cooked. Put one tablespoon of the coconut oil into the pan, then add the sausage and fry until it’s cooked. Usually ,it will take about 10-12minutes. Remove the sausage from the pan onto the kitchen paper to absorb all the grease.

-Use the same pan and gently fry the prawns for 2-3 minutes. Remove the prawns onto the kitchen paper.Then fry the egg and put all of these garnishes aside.

-In the different pan, put 1 tablespoon of the coconut oil and gently fry the garlic and shrimp paste for approx. 2-3 minutes. Make sure you flatten the paste and not leave any lump.

Tips:

* Try to get Thai produce of the Wind- dried pork sausage  and shrimp paste , as it has got  the specific flavours which this dish require.

– Don’t like the fried eggs? The real authentic recipe uses Thai style scramble egg instead of fried egg. They both are delicious.
