Ingredients

Steps

1. 1 Take a small piece of raw meat, put it in a pot with cold water, add Sichuan peppercorns, ginger slices, and chili peppers, and cook until cooked through, about 10 minutes. It’s best to use pork belly, with alternating fat and lean meat.

   

2. 2 Use a spoon to scoop out the seeds from half of the bitter melon.

   

3. 3 Cut bitter melon into 0.3 cm thick slices. Slice onion, ginger, garlic, red pepper, a small spoonful of black bean, and chop lightly with a knife. Appropriate amount of Pixian bean paste.

   

4. 4 Cut the cooked meat into thin slices (because it is dinner, cut less meat).

   

5. 5 Put half a spoonful of oil in the wok, fry 5 peppercorns until fragrant, stir-fry the oil on the meat slices until the meat slices are slightly brown, and then remove from the pan.

   

6. 6 Add a tablespoon of oil to the wok, stir-fry the fermented black bean paste (10 pieces) first, then stir-fry the Pixian bean paste (half a spoonful), onions, ginger, garlic and chili flakes, stir-fry evenly. (My pot was a little dry because I didn’t want too much oil at night. I didn’t add any oil. I only used the remaining oil from the fried meat in the pot. Please remember to add a spoonful of oil.)

   

7. 7 Add the bitter melon and stir-fry (the pot is a little thick and difficult to stir-fry), add the fried meat slices and stir-fry, add 2g and stir-fry evenly and take it out of the pot (the phenomenon of the pot will change when the meat slices are put into the pot).

   

8. 8 Remove from pan and plate.
