• Mung bean sprouts - 50 grams
• Green onions - 2 stalks, chopped

Steps

1. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, coconut milk, turmeric powder, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
2. Heat 1 tablespoon of cooking oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
3. Add the pork belly slices and cook until browned and crispy, about 5 minutes. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
4. In the same skillet, add the shrimp and cook until they turn pink, about 3 minutes. Remove and set aside with the pork.
