Snow Vegetable and Pork 雪菜肉丝


Snow vegetable is pickled in brine to gain a sour and salty taste and is a flavour in Eastern China. Here is a classic: shredded pork is first lightly seasoned with sugar, salt and cornstarch and then quickly stir-fried with ginger and garlic before snow vegetable, shiitake mushroom, shaoxing liquor, sugar and soy sauce are added. When most of the sauce has been absorbed, add some water or stock and cook slowly under cover for a few minutes. Good with rice or noodle, a great thing to have at home.
