Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1 pound ground pork
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon white pepper
  • 2 tablespoons peanut or other cooking oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 to 3 cups garlic chives, cut into 1/4-inch pieces
  • 3 tablespoon fermented black beans ((see headnotes above))
  • 1/2 cup red chiles, sliced into small rings ((see headnotes above))
  • 3 tablespoons Shaoxing wine or sake
  • Salt to taste

Instruction

  • Sprinkle the soy sauce and white pepper over the ground meat and mix it in well with your (very clean) hands. Set it aside as you cut the other vegetables.
  • In a wok or large pan, heat the oil over very high heat until it just barely begins to smoke. Add the ground pork and stir fry until it's no longer pink. Remove the pork from the wok.
  • If there is no oil left in the wok, add a tablespoon. When it's hot, stir fry the garlic for a few seconds, then the remaining ingredients, including the pork. Stir fry until the chives are a bit wilted and bright green, about 2 minutes. Serve at once with steamed rice.
