  1. Step 1

    If the black fungus is dried, soak it in water until soft, then tear it into small pieces. Cut the carrot and green pepper into thin strips.

    干木耳先泡软再撕成小块,胡萝卜和青椒切细丝。

  2. Step 2

    Cut the pork along the grain into thin strips. Mix with the salt, a little cooking wine and a little cornstarch, and leave for 10 minutes.

    猪肉顺着纹路切细丝,加盐、少许料酒和淀粉抓匀,腌10分钟。

  3. Step 3

    Finely chop the spring onion, ginger and garlic.

    葱、姜、蒜都切成末。

  4. Step 4

    In a small bowl, mix the sugar, vinegar, light soy sauce, the rest of the cooking wine, the water and a little cornstarch. Do not add salt, as the bean paste is already salty.

    小碗里放糖、醋、生抽、剩下的料酒、清水和少许淀粉调成碗汁,豆瓣酱够咸,不用再加盐。

  5. Step 5

    Heat oil in the wok and stir-fry the pork until it turns white. Move it to a plate.

    热锅倒油,下肉丝划散,炒到变白后盛出。

  6. Step 6

    Add a little oil and stir-fry the carrot briefly, then push it to one side. Fry the bean paste until the oil turns red.

    锅里补少许油,胡萝卜先炒几下推到一边,再下豆瓣酱炒出红油。

  7. Step 7

    Add the spring onion, ginger, garlic, black fungus and green pepper, and stir-fry until cooked.

    下葱姜蒜末、木耳和青椒,一起炒熟。

  8. Step 8

    Put the pork back and pour in the sauce. Stir until it thickens and coats everything.

    倒回肉丝,淋入碗汁,翻炒到汁变稠、裹匀即可。
