This Sichuan-style stir-fried meat with garlic sprouts is a bold and aromatic dish that’s perfect for spice lovers! Tender slices of meat are first blanched with scallions, ginger, garlic, and numbing Sichuan peppercorns for deep flavor, then stir-fried with rich Pixian bean paste and fiery Lao Gan Ma for a double dose of umami. The high-heat cooking technique locks in the juices while caramelizing the edges of the meat, creating a perfect balance of texture. Fresh garlic sprouts add a crisp, pungent kick, complementing the savory-sweet sauce made with soy sauce, cooking wine, and a touch of sugar. Quick, flavorful, and irresistibly spicy, this dish is guaranteed to have you reaching for extra rice—just two bowls won’t be enough! Ideal for weeknight dinners or impressing guests with authentic Sichuan flair.
