How to Make Savory Pickled Cabbage and Pork Shredded Stir-Fry

Pickled cabbage and pork shredded stir-fry is a beloved Chinese dish, known for its tangy crunch and savory flavors. Here’s a simple guide to making it at home.

Ingredients: 200g pork loin (shredded), 300g pickled cabbage (rinsed and drained), 2 garlic cloves (minced), 1 chili (sliced, optional), 1 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tsp sugar, 1 tbsp cooking oil, salt to taste.

Steps:

1. Prep the pork: Marinate shredded pork with 1 tsp soy sauce and a pinch of salt for 15 minutes.

2. Stir-fry pork: Heat oil in a wok over medium-high heat. Add pork and stir-fry until no longer pink. Remove and set aside.

3. Sauté aromatics: In the same wok, stir-fry garlic and chili until fragrant. Add pickled cabbage, stir-frying for 2–3 minutes to reduce excess moisture.

4. Combine: Return pork to the wok. Add soy sauce, sugar, and a splash of water. Toss everything together for 1 minute until heated through. Adjust saltiness if needed.

Serve hot with steamed rice. The dish balances the saltiness of the pickled cabbage with the tender pork, creating a comforting meal. Enjoy this quick, flavorful staple that’s perfect for any weeknight dinner!
