Time 30m

Yield 5

Number Of Ingredients 7

3 tablespoons vegetable oil, or more as needed, divided
2 cloves garlic, crushed
1 ounce fresh ginger, minced
1 pound pork tenderloin, sliced into thin strips, or to taste
3 hot long green chile peppers, sliced into thin strips, or more to taste
salt to taste
2 teaspoons soy sauce, or to taste

Steps:

  • Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat until smoking; saute garlic and ginger until fragrant, 30 seconds to 1 minute. Add pork to wok; cook and stir until cooked through, 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer pork to a plate.
  • Pour remaining 2 tablespoons oil into the same wok over medium-high heat; saute chile peppers until well-coated with oil and fragrant, about 2 minutes. Add pork to chile peppers and generously season with salt. Cook and stir mixture until peppers are tender, 5 to 7 minutes more. Mix enough soy sauce into pork mixture to add color and taste for desired saltiness.

This is the best Hunan Peppered Pork recipe I've ever tried. It's the perfect balance of spicy, sweet, and sour.

I'm not a fan of bell peppers, so I substituted them with carrots and celery. It turned out great!

This dish is a great way to use up leftover pork. I usually make it with pork tenderloin, but it would also be good with pork chops or pork shoulder.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my dish turned out bland and flavorless.

This dish was a bit too spicy for me, but my husband loved it. He said it was the best Hunan Peppered Pork he's ever had.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my pork turned out a little dry. I think I might have overcooked it.

This Hunan Peppered Pork was a hit at my dinner party! The flavors were bold and complex, and the pork was cooked perfectly. I will definitely be making this dish again.
