Black Fungus and Mushroom Slices

This savory Stir-Fried Pork with Chinese Toon, Wood Ear, and Shiitake Mushrooms is a fragrant and flavorful dish that combines tender marinated pork with earthy mushrooms and the unique aroma of Chinese toon. The pork is thinly sliced and marinated in salt, starch, and sesame oil for extra tenderness, then stir-fried with aromatic dried chili peppers and Sichuan peppercorns for a touch of heat and numbing spice. Wood ear and shiitake mushrooms add a satisfying chewiness, while fresh Chinese toon brings a distinctive herbal note. Quick high-heat cooking locks in the juices, and a splash of light soy sauce enhances the umami richness. Finished with a pinch of chicken essence, this dish is a perfect balance of textures and bold flavors—ideal served over steamed rice for a comforting, restaurant-quality meal at home.
