1. 1
   Step 1

   Slice half the ginger and mince the other half. Cut the pork into slices as thin as you can.

   姜一半切片，一半切末。猪肉尽量切成薄片。

2. 2
   Step 2

   Mix the pork with salt, a few Sichuan peppercorns, the minced ginger, cornstarch and just enough egg white to coat. Leave for at least 10 minutes.

   肉片加盐、几粒花椒、姜末、淀粉和适量蛋清抓匀，蛋清刚好裹住肉片就够，腌至少10分钟。

3. 3
   Step 3

   Prepare the vegetables: bean sprouts can go straight into the bottom of a large serving bowl. Tear or slice the others.

   准备蔬菜：豆芽一烫就熟，可以直接铺在大碗底；其他蔬菜撕成片或切片。

4. 4
   Step 4

   Stir-fry quick-cooking leaves such as napa cabbage in a little oil and salt until just cooked. Spread them in the serving bowl.

   锅里放少许油和盐，把白菜这类易熟的菜炒到断生，铺在大碗里。

5. 5
   Step 5

   Heat more oil and fry the chilli bean paste and ginger slices on low heat until the oil turns red and smells good. Be patient here.

   锅里再放油，小火把豆瓣酱和姜片慢慢炒到油色红亮、出香味，这一步要有耐心。

6. 6
   Step 6

   Add enough water to cover all the food later and bring to the boil on high heat. Cook the harder vegetables in it until done, then move them to the bowl.

   加入足够没过所有食材的水，大火烧开，把需要煮的蔬菜煮熟后捞进大碗。

7. 7
   Step 7

   With the broth at a full boil, add the pork slices one by one and cook for 30 to 60 seconds, until just cooked through. Pour the pork and broth into the bowl.

   汤滚开时再一片片放入肉片，煮30到60秒刚熟就关火，连汤倒进大碗。

8. 8
   Step 8

   Sprinkle chilli powder and Sichuan peppercorns on top. Heat some oil until very hot, turn off the heat and carefully pour it over the bowl; it will sizzle.

   表面撒上辣椒粉和花椒。锅里烧一些热油，关火后小心均匀地浇在碗里，会嘶啦作响。
