Beer Chicken

Beer Chicken

This succulent stir-fried pork recipe is a flavor-packed delight, combining rich Shaoxing wine, aromatic garlic, and scallions for a mouthwatering dish. The secret lies in marinating the pork—separating the fatty and lean parts—then stir-frying them to perfection. The fatty pieces are cooked first to render their delicious oils, followed by the lean cuts for a tender bite. A touch of sugar enhances the natural sweetness, while a splash of beer adds a unique depth of flavor as it simmers into a luscious glaze. The slow reduction ensures every bite is infused with savory-sweet goodness. Quick, easy, and bursting with umami, this dish is perfect for a weeknight dinner or a special occasion. Try it for an irresistible twist on classic stir-fried pork!
