Potato and Bean Stew

Potato and Bean Stew

This hearty and flavorful **Pork Belly, Potato, and Green Bean Stir-Fry** is a comforting dish that combines tender pork belly, pan-fried potatoes, and crisp green beans in a rich, aromatic sauce. The secret lies in the blend of fragrant spices—Sichuan peppercorns, star anise, and cardamom—infused into the dish using a tea bag for deep, layered flavor. Pan-frying the potatoes first ensures a golden, slightly crispy texture, while the pork belly is stir-fried with garlic and dried red peppers for a savory, slightly spicy kick. Simmered in soy sauce and cooking wine, the ingredients meld together beautifully for a satisfying one-pot meal. Perfect with steamed rice, this dish is a delicious balance of textures and bold, warming spices that will keep you coming back for more!
