INSTRUCTIONS
Thinly julienne the pork and marinade it with salt, white pepper, dark soy sauce, Chinese cooking wine, and egg white. Mix well then continue to massage the meat for 5 minutes.
Add a big drizzle of oil and mix to prevent the meat from tangling, making it easier to stir fry later. Set it aside.
Thinly slice the garlic and julienne the green chili pepper. If you don’t eat spicy food, use bell pepper.
In a bowl, thoroughly combine the light soy sauce, oyster sauce, sugar, five-spice powder, cornstarch, and water. Set it aside
Turn the heat to high and heat the wok until smoking hot. Add the pork lard and stir the pork over high heat for a couple of minutes or until the meat changes color.
Add the tiam mian jiang (甜面酱) and mix well.
Switch the heat to medium, and add the garlic and green pepper. Keep mixing until the pepper is slightly welted. Pour in the sauce and stir well. Serve with white rice.
