Ingredients

Scale
  • 10 oz pork tenderloin
  • 2 teaspoon light soy sauce
  • 2 teaspoon Shaoxing rice wine
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 1 tablespoon water
  • 1 teaspoon neutral cooking oil
  • 2 tablespoon black rice vinegar
  • 1½ tablespoon Shaoxing rice wine
  • 1 tablespoon light soy sauce
  • ½ tablespoon dark soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoon sugar
  • 1½ tablespoon cornstarch
  • 2 tablespoon water
  • 3 tablespoon neutral cooking oil, divided
  • 2 tablespoon pickled chili, finely chopped
  • 2 teaspoon garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon ginger, minced
  • ½ cup carrot, julienned
  • ½ cup wood ear mushrooms, rehydrated and julienned
  • ½ cup bamboo shoots, julienned
  • 1 stalk scallions, finely chopped

Instructions

  1. Prepare the pork: Cut the pork tenderloin into narrow strips. In a bowl, mix with light soy sauce, Shaoxing rice wine, cornstarch, salt, and water. Rub with oil to evenly coat the meat.
  2. Make the sauce: In a small bowl, combine black rice vinegar, Shaoxing rice wine, light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, sugar, cornstarch, and water. Set this flavorful sauce aside for later use.
  3. Sear the pork: Heat a wok over high heat and add 2 tablespoons of neutral oil. Once hot, add the marinated pork and sear until it turns pale, then transfer it to a plate.
  4. Cook the vegetables: In the same wok, add 1 tablespoon of oil. Sizzle the pickled chili, garlic, and ginger until fragrant. Mix in the wood ear mushrooms, bamboo shoots, and carrots, stir-frying until they begin to wilt.
  5. Combine and finish: Return the seared pork to the wok. Stir-fry for 30 seconds before reducing the heat to low. Pour in the prepared sauce and stir until it thickens. Toss in chopped scallions just before serving.
