Yuxiang Pork Strips

Let’s get cooking

1. 01

   Prepare meat and sauce

   Coat pork with half the starch and a little measured water. Mix remaining starch, water, soy sauce, vinegar, and sugar separately.

2. 02

   Cook the pork

   Heat most of the oil over medium-high heat. Cook pork in a thin layer until at least 63°C, about 3–5 minutes. Transfer to a clean plate.

3. 03

   Soften vegetables

   Add remaining oil, mushrooms, and carrot. Stir 4–5 minutes until tender.

4. 04

   Cook aromatics

   Lower heat and add garlic, ginger, and bean paste. Stir about 30 seconds.

5. 05

   Coat with sauce

   Return pork. Stir the sauce again, pour in, and toss until thickened. Rest pork at least 3 minutes after reaching its safe temperature.
