Spicy Garlic Shoots with Pork Belly

This Stir-Fried Pork with Garlic Sprouts is a savory, aromatic dish that brings together tender pork, crisp garlic sprouts, and bold seasonings for a mouthwatering meal. Lean pork slices are marinated with starch and cooking wine to ensure tenderness, then stir-fried with fragrant small peppers, scallions, and ginger powder for depth of flavor. The dish gets its rich umami kick from oyster sauce and Pixian fermented bean paste, a Sichuan staple that adds a perfect salty-spicy balance. Garlic sprouts provide a fresh crunch, making every bite irresistible. Quick-cooked over high heat, this stir-fry retains vibrant colors and textures while locking in bold flavors. Serve it hot over steamed rice for a satisfying, restaurant-quality dish that’s easy to make at home!

Next, add the garlic sprouts. Since oyster sauce is used for flavor enhancement and the fermented bean paste is already salty, no additional salt or chicken essence is needed. Due to high heat, a small amount of water can be added if the pan becomes dry, but do not add too much to avoid affecting the color and texture.
