Ingredients
- ¼ cup oil
- 1-3 fresh or dried red chilis
- 2 tablespoons ginger (finely minced)
- ½ teaspoon Sichuan peppercorn powder (optional)
- 5 cloves garlic (chopped)
- 8 ounces ground pork
- 2 tablespoons Shaoxing wine
- ½ teaspoon sugar
- ½ teaspoon white pepper
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce (plus more to taste)
- ½ teaspoon sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons Lao Gan Ma black bean chili sauce (or to taste, we used 3!)
- 8 oz. dried spaghetti (cooked according to package instructions)
- ⅓ cup chopped peanuts (optional)
- 1 scallion (chopped)
- A big handful or two of any leafy green vegetable (anything that wilts quickly and has a mild flavor will do, such as bok choy, choy sum, spinach, napa cabbage, etc., washed)
Instructions
- Pour ¼ cup oil into the wok over medium heat and add the chilis. Let the peppers infuse the oil for 1 minute. Add the minced ginger and Sichuan peppercorn powder, if using, and fry for another minute.
- Add the minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds. Then add the ground pork. Stir until just cooked through, breaking up any big chunks. Next, add 2 tablespoons Shaoxing wine, ½ teaspoon of sugar, ½ teaspoon white pepper, 1 tablespoon soy sauce, and ½ teaspoon sesame oil. Then add 2 heaping tablespoons of the black bean hot sauce. Stir and cook for a minute.
- Turn the heat up to high and add the cooked spaghetti, peanuts, scallions, and leafy veggies. Quickly stir fry for a few minutes to heat them through. Stir fry to combine, moving quickly so the spaghetti doesn’t stick to the wok. Cook until the veggies are wilted/just cooked through.
- Serve immediately!
