⚠️ Note: This dish requires some basic cooking skills; beginners are not recommended to try it.

Estimated Cooking Difficulty: ★★★

## Essential Ingredients and Tools

* Green chili peppers (for those who like spicy food, Hangjiao or Luosujiao are recommended; for those who do not like spicy food, pointed peppers or sweet peppers can be used)
* Lean pork
* Salt
* Light soy sauce
* Oyster sauce
* Garlic
* Ginger
* Soy sauce (optional)
* Fermented black beans (optional)

## Calculations

Before each preparation, determine how many servings you plan to make. One serving is sufficient for 1 person.

Total Amounts:

* Number of green chili peppers = Number of servings * 3.
* Amount of meat = Number of servings * 200g.
* Amount of salt = Number of servings * 3g.
* Light soy sauce = Number of servings * 3ml.
* Oyster sauce = Number of servings * 3ml.
* Garlic = Number of servings * 5g.
* Ginger = Number of servings * 5g.
* Soy sauce = Number of servings * 2ml.
* Fermented black beans = Number of servings * 3g.

Use the above conditions to calculate the proportions of raw materials needed for your planned preparation.

## Instructions

* Wash the `green chili peppers`, remove the `stems` and `seeds`, and then cut them using the `rolling cut technique` for later use.
* `Smash the garlic` with the side of a knife, then slice it crosswise into `garlic cloves`. `Mince the ginger` into `ginger bits`.
* Cut the `lean pork` into `slices` （cut along the grain of the pork, meaning the knife moves horizontally relative to the meat fibers; the resulting slices will have a "川" character-like grain pattern）.
* Wash the sliced `pork`, place it in an empty bowl, add the calculated amounts of `light soy sauce`, `oyster sauce`, and `salt`, mix well, and marinate for 10 minutes.
* Heat the wok without adding oil. Add the `prepared green chili peppers` and stir-fry over high heat until they develop a blistered, tiger-skin-like appearance. Add 2g of `salt`, continue stir-frying for 1 minute, then remove and set aside.
* Without washing the wok, heat it over high fire. Add `oil` (amount: servings * 8ml). Wait for 30 seconds, then add the `garlic cloves` and `ginger bits`, stir-frying for 15 seconds.
* Add the marinated `pork` to the wok and stir-fry for 2 minutes. Then add the previously stir-fried `green chili peppers` and stir-fry for another 1 minute.
* Add `fermented black beans` according to personal taste preference. Finally, add `soy sauce` and continue stir-frying for 30 seconds.
* Remove from heat and plate the dish.

## Additional Notes

**Only green chili peppers or Luosujiao should be used; Luosujiao is the optimal choice. Do not use other varieties of chili peppers!**
