A super simple, spicy, and numbing Mala Xiang Guo made by stir-frying leftover ingredients from the fridge with mala sauce over high heat.

Ingredients needed 2 servings

Recipe

Cooking tips

  • Removing the foam that rises when blanching shrimp is crucial to eliminate any seafood-specific fishy smell.
  • Vegetables that wilt quickly, such as bean sprouts and bok choy, are best added at the final stage of cooking to preserve their texture.
  • Bean sprouts can spoil easily if left over, so it's recommended to use them all at once.
  • Mala Xiang Guo is a dry stir-fry dish with no broth, so avoid adding too much extra water; cook using the moisture from the vegetables themselves.

Recommended for

  • Those who want to deliciously use up leftover ingredients from the fridge all at once.
  • Those who want to enjoy restaurant-quality Mala Xiang Guo at home using store-bought sauce.
  • Mala lovers who want to relieve stress with a spicy and numbing flavor.
