Step 1

Remove the skin from the pork hind leg, cut it into slices of 6cm long, 3.5cm wide, and 0.2cm thick. Cut the garlic shoots into a shape resembling a horse’s ear. Finely chop the Pixian fermented bean paste.

Step 2

Heat a wok and add cooking oil. Over medium heat, heat the oil to 60-70% heat, then add the sliced pork and stir-fry. Add salt and fermented bean paste, and continue stir-frying.

Step 3

Stir-fry until the water vapor is no longer visible and the oil is clear. Push the pork slices to one side, then add the Pixian fermented bean paste and stir-fry until fragrant and red.
