How to Make Stir-Fried Shredded Pork with Water Bamboo

Stir-fried shredded pork with water bamboo is a classic Chinese dish loved for its tender meat, crisp vegetable, and savory sauce. Here’s a simple guide to making it at home.

Ingredients: 200g pork loin (shredded), 2 fresh water bamboo (sliced diagonally), 1 bell pepper (optional, for color), 2 garlic cloves (minced), 1 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tsp oyster sauce, 1 tsp sugar, 1 tbsp cooking wine, salt, pepper, and 2 tbsp oil.

Steps:

1. Marinate the pork: In a bowl, mix shredded pork with 1 tsp soy sauce, cooking wine, pepper, and 1 tbsp oil. Let it sit for 15 minutes.

2. Prep vegetables: Blanch water bamboo slices in boiling water for 1 minute, then drain. Slice bell pepper into strips.

3. Stir-fry: Heat oil in a wok over high heat. Stir-fry marinated pork until no longer pink, then remove. Sauté garlic until fragrant, add water bamboo and bell pepper, stir-fry for 2 minutes.

4. Combine: Return pork to the wok. Add soy sauce, oyster sauce, sugar, and a pinch of salt. Toss everything evenly for 1 minute. Serve hot!

Tips: For extra flavor, use dark soy sauce for color. Ensure high heat for a smoky “wok hei” effect. Enjoy this quick, delicious dish with rice!
