Twice Cooked Pork

Why it is called twice cooked pork? Because the pork was boiled first and then stir-fried. It is literally cooked twice. It is a classic Sichuan dish from China. I twisted the recipe by changing pork belly to pork shoulder roast, because I found my American families and friends don't enjoy fat meat so much. Every time when I bring this dish to parties, people love it!

Ingredients

1 Hour
4 People
  1. 2.5 lbs- Pork Shoulder Roast
  2. 4 pcs- Red Bell Peppers
  3. 4 slices- Ginger
  4. 3 tbsp- Broad Bean Chili Oil Paste
  5. 3 tbsp- Sweet Bean Paste
  6. 1/2 cup- Regular Olive Oil or Peanut Oil
  7. 1 stalk- Green Onion

Cooking Instructions

1 Hour
  1. 1

    Cover the pork roast with a pot of water. Add ginger slices. Start boiling at high heat. Once the blood comes out, change to medium heat.

  2. 2

    While the pork is cooking, prepare the bell peppers. Get rid of the seeds and cut the peppers to squares.

  3. 3

    After boiling for 30 minutes, the pork should turn white. Take out the pork and ginger slices. Cut the pork to small and thin slices. Heat the oil in a wok.

  4. 4

    Add pork and ginger slices to the wok. Stir fry for 3 minutes at high heat. Then turn to medium heat before adding sauce.

  5. 5

    Add broad bean chili oil paste and sweet bean paste.

  6. 6

    Stir to mix the sauce with pork for 2 minutes. Add bell peppers. Stir everything for 2 minutes.

  7. 7

    Cover the wok with a lid for 2 minutes. Then open the lid to stir a couple times which can prevent the pork and sauce sticking to the wok. Repeat this procedure for 3-4 times till the bell pepper becomes tender. Sprinkle some green onion for decoration. Enjoy!

  8. 8

    Tips: The sauce in this recipe can stick to the bottom of the wok. That's why the heat needs to be reduced after the sauce is added. If you have a non-stick wok, then you don't need to worry about this.

    The reason to reduce the heat when the pork is boiling is to prevent overflow.
