Garlic Shoots with Stir-Fried Pork

Garlic Shoots with Stir-Fried Pork

This Sichuan-style stir-fried meat with garlic sprouts is a bold, aromatic dish that brings together tender meat, fresh garlic sprouts, and rich fermented bean pastes for an unforgettable flavor explosion. The meat is first simmered with scallions, ginger, garlic, and numbing Sichuan peppercorns for deep fragrance, then sliced thin and stir-fried with spicy Pixian bean paste and Lao Gan Ma for a savory, slightly sweet kick. High-heat cooking locks in the juices while caramelizing the garlic sprouts to perfection. The result? A mouthwatering balance of tender meat, crisp garlic sprouts, and umami-packed sauce—so delicious you’ll need extra rice to soak it all up! Perfect for spice lovers, this dish delivers authentic Sichuan heat and depth in every bite.
