Sichuan Zucchini Stir Fry
Description
This Sichuan Zucchini Stir Fry centers on zucchini stripped of their pulp and sliced into thin strips, salted briefly to draw out moisture, then rinsed and squeezed dry to control the flavor intensity. The pork belly slices are pan-fried until browned, releasing rich fat and umami flavor.
Doubanjiang adds characteristic Sichuan spiciness and depth, cooked with garlic, ginger, scallions, and fresh chili slices to build aroma. Oyster sauce and sugar offer savory and slight sweetness to complement the chili heat. The zucchini is stir-fried quickly on super high heat until just tender, preserving a slight bite and freshness.
The result is a hot dish packed with layered spice, silky pork richness, and crisp-tender zucchini, suitable for serving hot as a side or main vegetable dish in a meal with rice or noodles.
