Note that you can use Zaolajiao as a base of this dish, or as Steph implied in the VO, you can also use Hunanese Duojiao (“Chopped Chilis”). The former is getting increasingly available abroad nowadays; the latter should be available at the vast, vast majority of Chinese supermarkets.

Add back in the cooked pork, brief fry. Swirl the soy sauce in in the same manner as the wine. Mix, then add in the final seasoning. Mix again, then add the green garlic (or scallion) greens. Brief 15 second fry, then out.

Slice the pork belly, the green garlic (or scallion), and the garlic. Halve the chilis.
Swirl in about a tablespoon of oil into a wok, and over a medium flame add in the pork belly. Add in the ‘seasoning for the pork belly’ for a bit of base flavor. Fly until the pork has changed color and the frying oil’s clear once again, ~2 minutes.
Lower the flame to medium-low. Slowly fry the pork belly until the lard’s rendered oil and the pork belly is nice and crispy, about 10-15 minutes. Remove the pork.
Remove most of the lard that rendered out (reserve for another use), leaving ~2 tbsp inside.
Flame on medium, add in the natto. After ~3 minutes of stir frying, the sticky natto strings will form into a gloop. Remove the gloop and continue to fry the natto for 3-5 minutes, or until the natto becomes loose and slightly crispy. Move the natto to the side.
Add in the aromatics. Fry until fragrant, ~30 seconds, then up the flame to high. Mix with the natto, swirl in the wine. Add in the crispy pork belly, mix, swirl in the soy sauce.
