Stir-Fried Ground Pork with Bitter Melon
This savory and aromatic Stir-Fried Pickled Bean Horns with Pork is a flavorful Sichuan-inspired dish that’s quick to prepare yet packed with umami richness. Tender ground pork is stir-fried with fragrant scallions, ginger, and garlic, then combined with tangy pickled bean horns and spicy Pixian bean paste for a deep, complex taste. The dish gets its bold flavor from the fermented bean paste, which releases rich red oil when cooked, while a splash of cooking wine, light soy sauce, and a hint of sugar balance the saltiness perfectly. The pickled bean horns add a delightful crunch and tang, making every bite irresistible. Best of all, no extra salt is needed—the natural saltiness of the ingredients creates a perfectly seasoned dish. Serve this hearty stir-fry over steamed rice for a satisfying meal that’s bursting with authentic Sichuan flavors!
