Lily and Pork Stir Fry

About This Recipe

This savory Stir-Fried Pork with Lily Bulbs is a fragrant and flavorful dish that combines tender marinated pork with crisp, delicate lily bulbs for a perfect balance of textures. Thin strips of pork are infused with aromatic scallions, ginger, garlic, and spicy red chili peppers, then marinated in a blend of cooking wine, light and dark soy sauce, and pepper powder for deep, umami-rich flavor. Quick stir-frying locks in juiciness while keeping the meat tender. The addition of fresh lily bulbs adds a mild sweetness and satisfying crunch. A splash of water creates just enough steam to cook the lily bulbs quickly without losing their crispness. Finished with a drizzle of sesame oil, this dish is a harmonious mix of spice, aroma, and freshness—ideal for a quick yet impressive weeknight meal. Easy to prepare yet packed with bold flavors, it’s a must-try for lovers of Chinese-inspired stir-fries!

Step 1
Step 1
Cut the meat into strips, chop the scallions, ginger, garlic, and red chili peppers into small pieces, and put the chopped scallions, ginger, garlic, and chili peppers into the meat. Add cooking wine, light soy sauce, a small amount of dark soy sauce, oil, and pepper powder, and marinate for about 15 minutes. Clean and prepare the lily bulbs.

Step 2
Heat a wok with a small amount of oil, add the marinated meat, and stir-fry until the meat changes color. Then add the lily bulbs and stir-fry multiple times to prevent the ingredients from sticking to the wok or becoming mushy. Add a small amount of water to create steam, which helps the lily bulbs cook faster. Be cautious not to add too much water, as this can create a soup-like consistency.
