DIRECTIONS
Step 1
First, cut 350g of pork loin into thin slices as evenly as possible and put them into a bowl.
Step 2
Then, add 1 egg white, 4g of salt, 5ml of light soy sauce, 5ml of cooking wine and 10g of cornstarch. Mix well and marinate for 5 minutes to let the slices absorb the flavors.
Step 3
While marinating the meat, prepare the side ingredients: Trim and wash 500g of bean sprouts, chop 20g of scallions and mince 20g of garlic for standby.
Step 4
After 5 minutes of marination, heat the pan, add 20ml of oil and put the bean sprouts into the pan. Stir - fry them quickly for several times.
Step 5
Then, sprinkle 2g of salt and stir - fry evenly until the bean sprouts become a little soft. Transfer them to a plate for standby.
Step 6
Add more oil to the pan, put in 50g of doubanjiang and stir - fry slowly over low heat until it becomes loose. After getting the red oil, add 300ml of water, stir well, then add 5g of salt. Bring it to a boil over high heat to make a red and spicy soup in the pan.
Step 7
When the water is boiling, carefully put the marinated slices into the pan and stir gently. Once the slices change from red to white, which means they are cooked. As soon as the soup boils again, immediately scoop out the soup and the slices together and pour them over the bean sprouts.
Step 8
Sprinkle 10g of chili powder and 10g of Sichuan pepper powder over the slices and bean sprouts, then evenly distribute the chopped scallions and minced garlic on top.
Step 9
