Bamboo Shoots and Dried Tofu Stir-fried with Cured Pork

This Stir-Fried Water Chestnut with Dried Tofu and Cured Meat is a vibrant, savory dish bursting with contrasting textures and rich umami flavors. Tender water chestnuts add a crisp bite, while golden-fried dried tofu soaks up the smoky depth of cured meat. Colorful bell peppers and earthy black fungus round out the stir-fry, enhanced by aromatic scallions, ginger, and garlic. The secret lies in the technique—blanching the water chestnuts for perfect crunch, frying the tofu until crispy, and layering flavors with soy sauce, cooking wine, and yellow bean sauce. A splash of water keeps the dish juicy, while a hint of salt and chicken powder balances the savory-sweet notes. Quick, hearty, and packed with bold flavors, this stir-fry is a delicious way to enjoy classic ingredients with a gourmet twist!
