Instructions

Step 1

In a bowl, marinate the sliced pork with 1 tablespoon of soy sauce and set it aside.

Step 2

Heat the vegetable oil in a wok or large skillet over high heat. Add the minced garlic and ginger and stir-fry for about 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 3

Add the marinated pork and stir-fry until it turns opaque, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 4

Add the julienned carrot and sliced bell peppers. Stir-fry for another 2-3 minutes until the vegetables are slightly softened.

Step 5

Push the pork and vegetables to the sides of the wok, creating a well in the center. Add the chili bean paste and stir-fry for a minute to release its flavor.

Step 6

Mix the chili bean paste with the pork and vegetables, then add the sugar and mix well.

Step 7

Pour in the chicken or vegetable broth and let it come to a simmer. Allow it to cook for another 2 minutes.

Step 8

Thicken the sauce with the cornstarch mixture, stirring until it thickens and coats the back of a spoon.

Step 9

Serve your Yuxiang Rousi hot, garnished with sliced green onions. Enjoy!
