Hello everyone, I am Wang Gang.
Today’s dish is shredded pork with green pepper
Let's hit it!
First prepare 300 grams (0.66lb) of pork tenderloin
Cut the pork into 3 mm (0.12 inch) slices
Then arrange the sliced pork into a row and cut it into shreds
Cut the pork as thin as 3 mm
This will make the finished dish look prettier
Next step is to clean the pork
Add some water into a bowl, and rinse the pork in water (5 minutes)
When you are done, squeeze the pork to remove water
Now is time for marinate the pork
Add 1 gram of salt
A pinch of white pepper powder
Add light soy sauce 4g (for flavor)
And 2 grams of dark soy sauce for colouring
Mix the seasonings evenly
Make sure the pork absorb all the sauce
After mixing the seasonings, add 1 egg white and mix it well with the pork
Egg white should only be added after the pork is no longer watery
Otherwise the sauce won't stick to the pork in stir-frying
Then add in potato starch that are as equal amount as the egg white and mix them evenly
Finally add some oil and mix them well to prevent the pork from sticking to each other during cooking
Next step is to prepare the side ingredients
Prepare 200 grams (0.44 lb) of green chili peppers
Wash them and remove the stems
Cut the peppers into thin slices
If you don’t like spicy food, use bell pepper or sweet pepper as alternative
Smash and chop 20 grams (0.71 oz) of garlic into small pieces
Also smash and chop 20 grams (0.71 oz) of ginger into small pieces
now let’s do the cooking, First warm up the wok
Add in some oil and then pour the hot oil out (this step is professionally called “sliding the wok” in Chinese, the purpose of this is to prevent the food from sticking to the wok)
Then add 40 grams (1.14oz) of lard to melt
When the oil temperature reaches 120 °C (248 °F)
Stir in the marinated pork
Turn down the heat
Stir the pork until they are separated and cooked
When they change color, put them away for later steps
Add some more lard, and heat it up to 150 °C (302 °F)
Stir in the garlic and ginger
Turn down the heat; stir the garlic and ginger until they are fragrant
Then, add sliced green chili peppers
Turn to medium heat; stir the pepper until it's no longer raw
When the peppers look shiny and soft, it means they are ready for next step
Stir in the pork again
Stir-fry for a bit, and then start the final seasoning
Add 1.5 grams of salt
1 gram of MSG,
A pinch of sugar to enhance the freshness
Stir in 3 grams of light soy sauce from the edge of the wok
