Pork Stir Fry with Black Bean Sauce
Description
The recipe starts by marinating pork slices with salt, cooking wine, light soy sauce, water or chicken stock, white pepper, and cornstarch to tenderize and season thoroughly. The pork is then briefly fried in a generous amount of oil to a pale color, which helps lock in juices and creates a tender bite.
After excess oil is removed, aromatics including garlic, ginger, and scallions are fried until fragrant before adding fresh red and green chili peppers. Returning the pork to the pan, the stir fry is finished with black bean sauce and dark soy sauce, giving it a deep umami flavor and a touch of spice.
This dish pairs well with steamed rice or noodles, balancing the spicy and savory black bean flavors. The method preserves the pork's tenderness and incorporates fresh chili textures.
Ingredients
- 150 g pork butt or tenderloin, sliced, approx. 4.5 ounces
Marinating
- 1/4 tsp. salt
- 1/2 tbsp. cooking wine
- 1 tbsp. soy sauce light
- 3 tbsp. water or chicken stock
- 1/4 tsp. white pepper
- 1 tsp. cornstarch
- 1 tsp. sesame oil
stir-frying
- cooking oil as needed
- 1 garlic minced, cloves
- 1 tsp. ginger minced
- 4 scallions ,cut into small sections
- 1 black bean sauce or 1 tbsp. chopped black beans
- 1 tsp. dark soy sauce
- 3 red chili peppers cut into small sections, fresh
- 2 green chili peppers cut into small sections, fresh
- salt very small pinch, if needed
Instructions
- Thinly slice the pork. Add salt, cooking wine, light soy sauce, water (or chicken stock) and white pepper. Message the pork slice for 2-3 minutes until all the juice is well absorbed. Set aside for 10 minutes.
- Add cornstarch and message again. Make sure all the slices are well coated with starch. At last, add 1 teaspoon of sesame oil, mix well too.
- Heat your wok or pan firstly. Add cooking oil to form a 2-3 cm high layer (do not be scared by the oil amount, we do not eat them all). Spread the pork sliced in. Let them stay for 5 to 10 seconds and then quickly fry them until turns pale. Transfer out immediately.
- Remove the extra oil and save them for vegetable stir fries. Keep around 1 tablespoon of oil and fry garlic, ginger and scallion until aromatic. Place fresh pepper sections in to fry for 1 minute or until slightly softened. Return pork sliced in, add dark soy sauce and black beans sauce. Mix well and see if any extra salt is needed. Move out immediately after mixed. Be quick in this process and it is better to finish this within 30 seconds.
