This easy and elevated breakfast recipe was crafted to follow the Grilled Pork Belly Noodle Bowl dinner. The pre-cooked pork belly cubes fit perfectly into an egg scramble because pork belly is the same cut as bacon.

The flavors in combination with fresh greens and a little hot sauce
are a classic, satisfying combination.

 

Tip - Cooking the shiitakes in the skillet for a few minutes before cooking the eggs is a great way to get ahead of making lunch.

Whenever I camp, I always find it easiest to make lunch when I make breakfast. By doing it this way, I eliminate the work involved with fussing in the kitchen mid-day, when I’d rather be relaxing or playing.
