- Cut the pork belly into 1-inch by ½-inch strips. Add to a large bowl with half of the chilies, fish sauce, sugar, shallots, black pepper, and 4 tablespoons of the oil, then toss to combine. Cover and refrigerate for 2 to 3 hours, or overnight.
- Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Add the pork belly and cook, stirring often, until golden all over, about 10 minutes. Add the coconut juice and reduce the heat to medium-low. Continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until caramelized, about 45 minutes.
- Stir in the remaining chilies and scallions and divide the rice among 4 plates. Top each plate with the pork, pickled greens, and an egg. Garnish with chopped scallions. Oishi oishi.
