Toast the Shrimp Paste: Add the shrimp paste to the wok. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until it becomes very aromatic and slightly darker in color.

Fry the Rice: Add the cold, separated rice to the wok. Toss vigorously, breaking up any clumps with the back of a spatula. Ensure every grain of rice is evenly coated with the pinkish-brown shrimp paste. Stir-fry for 5-7 minutes until the rice is heated through and slightly toasted.

Garnish and Serve: Transfer the fragrant rice to a serving platter. Artfully arrange the scrambled egg strips, crispy pork belly, and tart green mango on top. The sourness of the mango perfectly cuts through the salty richness of the rice.
