Report
Consisting of fatty pork slices, hot chili pepper, fermented black beans, Hunan pork is a quick and tasty Chinese stir-fry not to be missed.

Ingredients
- 2 teaspoon neutral cooking oil
- 200 g pork belly (skinless), thinly sliced about 7oz
- 150 g fresh chili pepper, cut into chunks about 5oz
- 5 cloves garlic, coarsely crushed
- 1 tablespoon fermented black beans, rinsed see note 1
- 1 teaspoon light soy sauce
- ½ teaspoon dark soy sauce
Instructions
- Heat up a wok until it smokes (see note 2 if you’re using a non-stick wok). Add oil then put in sliced pork belly. Fry over medium heat until it browns a little and some fat has been extracted.
- Transfer the pork to a plate leaving the oil in the wok. Turn the heat up to high then add chili pepper and garlic. Fry until they are slightly charred.
- Put the pork back into the wok, along with fermented black bean, light soy sauce and dark soy sauce.
- Stir fry for a further 30 seconds or so to combine. Dish out and serve immediately with plain rice.
Notes
- Fermented black beans, known as Dou Chi/豆豉 in Chinese, can be found in Chinese stores. The dried version is preferable (instead of the ones in salty brine). Read my post “Fermented Black Beans” for more information.
- If using a non-stick wok, do not heat it up empty. Instead, pour in the oil as you turn on the heat. Add the pork when the oil becomes hot.
