Homemade Stir-fried Lettuce with Cured Pork

Method

1. 01

   Step 1

   First, wash the cured pork thoroughly and slice it. (I soaked it in water for a short while because the cured pork has been marinated and smoked. Soaking it in water can help remove some of the saltiness and the smoke marks on the meat. This step can be omitted.)

   Step 2

   The second step is to peel and wash the lettuce, and cut it into diamond shapes, trying not to cut it too thick (note that you must remove the outer stem of the lettuce, otherwise it will greatly affect the taste).

   

3. 03

   Step 3

   Mince the ginger, crush the garlic (or slice or mince it), and cut the dried chili peppers and bird's eye chili peppers into small pieces.

   

4. 04

   Step 4

   Heat the pan with cold oil, then stir-fry the cured pork until it releases its oil (don't use too much oil, as the cured pork will release some oil during the stir-frying process).

   Step 5

   Add garlic and other ingredients and stir-fry until fragrant.

   Step 7

8. 08

   Step 8

   Add a small amount of salt and stir-fry seasoning (note that you should not add too much salt, because the meat and Pixian chili bean paste are already salty).
