Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 17

6 leaves stem lettuce (celtuce), cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1 pinch salt
2 teaspoons water
1 teaspoon cornstarch
½ pound lean pork, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
1 teaspoon rice wine (sake)
¼ teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons chicken stock
2 teaspoons soy sauce
½ teaspoon Chinese black vinegar
½ teaspoon white sugar
3 ½ tablespoons vegetable oil
1 tablespoon finely chopped pickled red chile peppers
2 teaspoons chili bean sauce ((toban djan), such as Lee Kum Kee®)
3 spring onions, diced
2 cloves garlic, sliced
1 (1/2 inch) piece fresh ginger, sliced

Steps:

  • Combine stem lettuce and pinch of salt in another bowl.
  • Combine water and cornstarch in a small bowl; stir into a smooth paste.
  • Transfer half of the cornstarch paste into a larger bowl. Add pork, rice wine, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Mix well and let marinate, about 5 minutes.
  • Whisk remaining cornstarch paste, chicken stock, soy sauce, black vinegar, and sugar in another bowl to make sauce.
  • Heat oil in a wok or large skillet over high heat. Add pork with marinade; cook and stir until browned, 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in pickled chile peppers and chili bean sauce; cook until oil turns red, about 1 minute. Add spring onions, garlic, and ginger; cook and stir until fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir in lettuce; saute until tender, 2 to 3 minutes. Pour in sauce and toss until thickened, about 3 minutes.

This recipe was a disappointment. The pork was tough and the sauce was bland. I won't be making this again.
