Instructions

1. Step 1

Prepare the ingredients.

2. Step 2

Pour an appropriate amount of water into the pot, then add the five-flower pork, 1 tablespoon of salt, 2 tablespoons of cooking wine, and 1 big spice pouch. After boiling, reduce the heat and cook for 20 minutes until the pork can be pierced with a chopstick.

3. Step 3

Let the cooked five-flower pork cool, then slice it, cut the chili into strips, slice the garlic, mince the ginger, and chop the scallions for later use.

4. Step 4

After cutting the meat, wash your hands with hand soap to remove the grease.

5. Step 5

Pour a small amount of oil into the pot, and after the oil is hot, add the five-flower pork and start stir-frying. (If the five-flower pork is fatty, it is recommended not to add more oil)

6. Step 6

Stir-fry until the surface of the five-flower pork is slightly yellow, then add 1 tablespoon of fermented soybeans and 1 tablespoon of Pixian fermented bean paste, and stir-fry until the red oil comes out. Then add the scallions, ginger, and garlic and stir-fry until fragrant. (It is best to chop the Pixian fermented bean paste in advance)

7. Step 7

Add the chili to the pot and stir-fry for 1 minute.

8. Step 8

Add 1 tablespoon of salt, 1 tablespoon of sugar, and 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, and stir-fry evenly. (Be careful when adding salt as the Pixian fermented bean paste is quite salty)

9. Step 9

Before serving, sprinkle a small amount of chicken essence and stir-fry evenly.

10. Step 10

Serve.
