How to Make Vinegar and Egg Stir-Fry: A Complete Guide

Vinegar and Egg Stir-Fry (Suliu Muxu) is a classic Chinese dish loved for its tangy, savory flavor and tender texture. Here’s a simple, step-by-step guide to recreate it at home.

Ingredients:

- 200g lean pork or chicken, sliced thin

- 2 eggs, beaten

- 100g wood ear mushrooms, soaked and sliced

- 50g cucumber, julienned (optional)

- 2 cloves garlic, minced

- 1 tbsp cooking oil

- Sauce: 1 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tsp vinegar, 1 tsp sugar, ½ tsp sesame oil, 100ml water, and 1 tsp cornstarch mixed well.

Instructions:

1. Prep ingredients: Marinate pork with a pinch of salt and pepper for 10 minutes. Stir-fry eggs in hot oil, set aside.

2. Cook protein: Heat oil, stir-fry pork until golden, add garlic and mushrooms, cook for 2 minutes.

3. Combine: Return eggs to the pan, add cucumber (if using). Pour in the sauce, stir quickly to coat everything.

4. Thicken and serve: Let the sauce bubble until slightly thickened, drizzle with sesame oil. Serve hot with rice.

Tips: For extra umami, add a dash of oyster sauce to the marinade. Adjust vinegar to taste—some prefer it tangier, others milder. This quick, flavorful dish is perfect for busy weeknights!
