Steps:
1.Select fresh pork belly and wash it with water. Then, place it on a cutting board and use a knife to slice it into uniform thin pieces. This process requires some knife skills and ensures that each piece of pork is of uniform thickness. Transfer the sliced pork to a clean bowl. Next, add an appropriate amount of water to the bowl and gently stir with a fork, allowing the pork to fully soak in the water. Soak for about 15-20 minutes to dissolve the blood and impurities in the pork while enhancing its taste and tenderness. Finally, drain the water from the bowl and rinse the pork with warm water. Gently wring out the moisture with your hands and set it aside for use.
2.Clean 200g of shiitake mushrooms and remove their stems. Use your hands to tear them into uniform strips and put them in a bowl for later use. Then, select 20g of red pepper and 20g of green pepper, wash them, cut them into diamond-shaped pieces with a knife, being careful not to slice them too thickly to maintain both taste and appearance. Transfer the sliced red and green peppers to another bowl for later use.
3.Add an appropriate amount of salt and chicken powder to the pork slices and mix them with your hands until evenly distributed. Then, add a small amount of dark soy sauce and light soy sauce, continue stirring until evenly mixed. Then, crack an egg over the pork, continue stirring until evenly mixed. Finally, sprinkle an appropriate amount of flour over the pork, add 5ml of cooking oil, continue stirring until evenly mixed. Let the pork marinate for 10 minutes before using it for cooking.
4.Place an appropriate amount of water in a pot and bring it to a boil over high heat. Once the water is boiling, add the shiitake mushrooms, red pepper, and green pepper to the pot, mix them gently with a strainer, cover the pot with a lid, maintain medium heat, and continue cooking for 1 minute. After time is up, use a strainer to remove the shiitake mushrooms and bell peppers from the pot and put them on a plate for later use.
5.Add cooking oil to a hot pan, pour in the pork slices, and cook them until they turn white. Remove the pork slices from the pan and let them drain excess oil. Keep the oil in the pan and add spring onions and ginger to cook until fragrant. Then add the pork slices and shiitake mushrooms to the pan and stir fry over high heat until salted evenly. Add chicken powder and oyster sauce to continue stir frying for 15 seconds before removing from heat.
Tips:
- Use pork fat to fry with chopped scallions and ginger until fragrant before adding soy sauce for color adjustment.
- Clean the pork belly well before slicing into cubes, add an appropriate amount of water, mix well with your hands, then add flour and mix well again before adding salt so that the meat can absorb seasonings more evenly while being tenderer overall.
