Steps 5

  1. Step 1

    Mix the minced pork with 1 spoon each of cooking wine, sugar, cornstarch and light soy sauce. Leave for at least 10 minutes.

    肉末加料酒、糖、淀粉、生抽各1勺,用筷子搅匀,腌10分钟以上。

  2. Step 2

    Wash the garlic scapes and cut them into small pieces of 1–2 cm. Chop the garlic, spring onion and chillies.

    蒜苔洗净切成1到2厘米的小粒,蒜、葱和小米椒切碎。

  3. Step 3

    Heat a little oil and stir-fry the pork. Add a little dark soy sauce for colour, then take it out.

    锅里放少许油,下肉末翻炒,加点老抽上色后盛出。

  4. Step 4

    Add fresh oil and fry the garlic, spring onion and chillies until fragrant. Add the garlic scapes and stir-fry with salt; they give out their own water, so add none.

    锅里重新放油,爆香蒜末、葱末和小米椒,下蒜苔加盐翻炒,蒜苔自己会出水,不用加水。

  5. Step 5

    Add the pork back and stir-fry together. Stir in a little chicken powder and serve.

    倒回肉末一起翻炒,加少许鸡精炒匀出锅。
