Stir-fried pork with big chili peppers is a beloved Chinese dish, celebrated for its bold flavors and satisfying texture. Here’s a detailed guide to crafting this spicy, savory classic.
Ingredients: 300g pork tenderloin, sliced thin; 4-5 big green chili peppers, deseeded and cut into segments; 2 cloves garlic, minced; 1 tbsp ginger, julienned; 1 tbsp soy sauce; 1 tsp oyster sauce; 1 tsp sugar; 1 tbsp cooking wine; Salt and pepper to taste; 2 tbsp vegetable oil.
Steps:
1. Marinate the pork: In a bowl, combine pork slices with soy sauce, cooking wine, pepper, and a pinch of salt. Let it sit for 15 minutes to tenderize.
2. Prep the chilies: Heat oil in a wok over high heat. Stir-fry garlic and ginger until fragrant (10 seconds), then add chili peppers. Sauté briefly for 1–2 minutes to retain crunch.
3. Cook the pork: Push chilies to the side. Add marinated pork to the wok, stir-frying until browned (2–3 minutes). Return chilies to the pan, mixing well.
4. Season and finish: Drizzle in oyster sauce and sugar, tossing quickly. Adjust salt if needed. Cook for another 30 seconds until everything is evenly coated.
Serving Tip: Enjoy this dish hot with steamed rice to balance the spice. For extra heat, add a few dried chilies during stir-frying.
This dish balances tender pork, crisp chilies, and a savory-sweet sauce, making it a quick, flavorful meal for any occasion.
