Spicy 'Stir-fry'

Stir-frying is a method of cooking, not a dish. Partially cooked ingredients are finished in a very hot pan with a sauce, just enough to coat, that is stir-frying. Here I cut up a couple pork chops, marinate them in sugar, salt, soy sauce, shaoxing liquor, sesame oil and cornstarch before browning them on medium high heat until nicely brown and 70% cooked. Garlic and ginger are lightly browned in a seperate pan, add the pepper and asparagues and cook for a minute or so. Add hot bean sauce 豆瓣醬 and then the pork, deglaze with a little shaoxing liquor, season with sugar, soy sauce if needed. Toss about a little, add a little sesame oil and it is done. Very flavourful.
