Braised Pork with Wood Ear Mushrooms

About This Recipe

This flavorful stir-fry combines tender marinated meat, fluffy scrambled eggs, and crisp vegetables like black fungus, daylily, and cucumber for a satisfying and aromatic dish. The meat is first marinated with soy sauce, egg white, and starch for extra tenderness, then stir-fried to perfection. Eggs are scrambled into soft, golden pieces, while fragrant ginger, garlic, and Sichuan peppercorns infuse the dish with a bold, slightly numbing spice. The black fungus and daylily add a delightful chewiness, balanced by the refreshing crunch of cucumber. Quick and easy to prepare, this stir-fry is packed with umami-rich flavors and contrasting textures, making it a standout meal. Perfect served over steamed rice, this dish is a delicious harmony of savory, spicy, and fresh tastes that will impress any home cook.
