How to Make Stir-Fried Diced Pork with Dried Radish

Stir-fried diced pork with dried radish is a savory, comforting dish popular in Chinese cuisine. The key lies in balancing the chewy texture of dried radish with the tender, flavorful pork. Here’s a simple guide to making it at home.

Ingredients: 200g pork loin, diced; 100g dried radish, soaked and rinsed; 2 cloves garlic, minced; 1 tbsp soy sauce; 1 tsp oyster sauce; 1 tsp sugar; 1 tbsp cooking oil; a pinch of white pepper.

Steps:

1. Prep the ingredients: Soak dried radish in warm water for 20 minutes until soft, then squeeze out excess water and chop into small pieces. Marinate pork with 1/2 tsp soy sauce and a pinch of white pepper for 10 minutes.

2. Stir-fry pork: Heat oil in a wok over medium-high heat. Add pork and stir-fry until lightly browned. Remove and set aside.

3. Cook radish: In the same wok, sauté garlic until fragrant. Add dried raduck and stir-fry for 2 minutes.

4. Combine: Return pork to the wok. Add soy sauce, oyster sauce, and sugar. Stir-fry for another minute until everything is well-coated and heated through.

Serving Tip: Enjoy this dish hot with steamed rice—the raduck’s umami and pork’s richness pair perfectly! Adjust seasoning to taste for a homemade favorite.
