This is a classic dish from Sichuan province in southwest China. It's spicy and very popular in New York. I made it moderately spicy. If you want it spicier, you can add more chili pepper.

Steps

1

In a pot, add the water and salt, then cook the pork ribs for about 45 minutes, until they are tender but not falling apart. Transfer the cooked ribs to a plate. Reduce the cooking liquid to 1 cup, strain it, and set aside.
2

To make the Kung Pao sauce, heat a pot with the sesame oil and sauté the ginger and garlic without browning. Add the remaining sauce ingredients, making sure to dissolve the cornstarch in the liquid. Cook over medium heat until the sauce boils and thickens. Let it simmer for 1 minute.
3

Heat a wok with 1 tablespoon of sesame oil and stir-fry the peanuts. Add and stir-fry the bell peppers with half of the scallions, then set aside.
4

Coat the pork ribs in cornstarch. Heat the wok with 2 tablespoons of peanut or vegetable oil and brown the ribs. Add the reserved cup of pork broth to the ribs and let it thicken slightly.
5

Add the reserved vegetables and the Kung Pao sauce. Stir-fry and serve immediately. Sprinkle a little scallion on top.
