Twice-Cooked Pork with Green Peppers

Twice-Cooked Pork with Green Peppers

This mouthwatering stir-fried five-flower pork is a flavorful and satisfying dish that combines tender, thinly sliced pork with crisp green peppers and celery for the perfect balance of textures. The pork is first boiled to retain its juiciness, then stir-fried with aromatic ginger, garlic, and a savory blend of bean paste, soy sauce, and a hint of sugar for depth. A touch of Sichuan pepper powder adds a subtle, warming spice that elevates the dish. For extra richness, radish and potatoes can be cooked alongside the pork, creating a bonus side dish. Quick high-heat stir-frying ensures the vegetables stay vibrant and crunchy while the pork develops a delicious char. Finished with a pinch of umami-rich monosodium glutamate, this recipe delivers bold, layered flavors in every bite—perfect for a hearty weeknight meal!
