Stir-fried shredded pork with wild rice

Overview

There is a popular saying in Suzhou: water chestnuts are fresh in spring and lotus root is in summer, mushrooms are fresh in late autumn and celery is in winter, wild rice is fresh from March to October, and aquatic vegetables are available in all seasons. The golden autumn and October are still the season for eating wild rice. When I went to the vegetable market to buy vegetables, I saw wild rice for sale and quickly picked two. With the booming transportation industry, more and more seasonal southern vegetables have appeared on the market in the past two years. No longer do you have to go to Jiangnan to enjoy autumn seasonal dishes. Water bamboo shoots look somewhat similar to bamboo shoots, so it is also called water bamboo shoots or wild bamboo shoots. It is a herbaceous plant that grows in the Jiangnan area. This aquatic vegetable is not only delicious but also very nutritious. There are many ways to make wild rice. It is delicious whether served cold, stir-fried, soup, stewed or stir-fried. My favorite is the stir-fried shredded pork with wild rice. The wild rice neutralizes the greasiness of the meat. The freshness of the meat is combined with the sweetness of the wild rice. The shredded meat is tender and smooth. The wild rice is crispy, tender and refreshing. It really goes well with rice!
