  • ⭐ On days when you don't want to stand over a stove, but still want to whip up a high-end Chinese-style appetizer using just a microwave.

Ingredients needed 🛒2 servings

  • 1 store-bought pork cutlet
  • 4 lettuce leaves
  • 1/2 large green onion
  • 1 Cheongyang pepper
  • 1 red chili pepper
  • 2 whole garlic cloves
  • 1/2 tablespoon chili powder
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 tablespoon water
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons vinegar

Recipe 🍳

  1. Cook the pork cutlet in an air fryer or a greased pan until very crispy, then cut into bite-size pieces.
  2. Wash the lettuce in cold water, thoroughly shake off excess moisture, and tear it into bite-size pieces by hand. Spread it generously on the bottom of a serving plate.
  3. Thinly slice the large green onion, Cheongyang pepper, and red chili pepper. For the garlic cloves, smash them firmly with the flat side of a knife to crush coarsely, and set aside.
  4. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the crushed garlic, 1/2 tablespoon chili powder, a small amount of the sliced green onion, and 2 tablespoons vegetable oil. Stir well.
  5. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap, poke a few small holes with a chopstick, and microwave for 2 minutes to make the garlic and green onion infused oil.
  6. To the hot infused oil from the microwave, add 1 tablespoon water, 1 tablespoon sugar, 2 tablespoons soy sauce, and 2 tablespoons vinegar. Mix well, then add the remaining sliced peppers and green onion to finish the sauce.
  7. Place the crispy pork cutlet neatly on top of the lettuce in the center of the serving plate.
  8. Generously drizzle the prepared sweet and spicy Yuringi sauce evenly over the pork cutlet and lettuce to finish.
  1. Cook the pork cutlet until crispy, slice it, and arrange a generous bed of freshly washed and torn lettuce on a plate.
  2. Combine garlic, chili powder, green onion, and oil, then microwave for 2 minutes to create a pungent chili oil base.
  3. Add soy sauce, vinegar, sugar, water, and the remaining peppers to the base to complete the sauce, then pour generously over the pork cutlet.

Cooking tips 💡

  • Use only the outer leaves of the green onion, as the tough core can release a sticky liquid that may thicken the sauce undesirably.
  • For a fantastic temperature contrast, chill the finished sauce in the refrigerator and drizzle it over the piping hot, freshly cooked pork cutlet.
  • If the lettuce retains too much water after washing, the sauce will become diluted and bland, so a salad spinner is highly recommended.
