Recipe 🍳

  1. Pour hot water over the mustard powder and mix well. Let it ferment in a warm place to develop a robust, less bitter flavor.
  2. After fermentation, add vinegar, sugar, and salt to the mustard mixture and blend thoroughly to create a pungent mustard sauce.
  3. Boil the yangjangpi (bunpi) until transparent, rinse under cold water, squeeze out excess moisture, then marinate with soy sauce and toasted sesame oil.
  4. Score the squid, and slice the clam, scallop, shrimp, and abalone thinly.
  5. Blanch the prepared seafood briefly in boiling water with a pinch of salt, then cool in cold water and drain thoroughly.
  6. Slice the pork loin, onion, carrot, and wood ear mushrooms. Cut the chives into bite-sized lengths.
  7. Heat cooking oil in a pan, sauté sliced green onion, garlic, and ginger until fragrant, then add the pork and stir-fry.
  8. Once the pork is cooked through, add soy sauce, onion, carrot, and wood ear mushrooms, stir-frying further. Then add oyster sauce and chives, quickly stir-frying to finish.
  9. Arrange the blanched seafood and jellyfish neatly around the edge of the plate. Place the marinated yangjangpi and stir-fried meat and vegetables in the center, and serve with the mustard sauce on the side.
  1. Mix mustard powder with hot water, let it ferment in a warm, sealed container, then blend in vinegar, sugar, and salt to make the sauce.
  2. Boil the yangjangpi, rinse under cold water, squeeze dry, and marinate with soy sauce and toasted sesame oil.
  3. Blanch the cleaned seafood briefly in boiling water, cool down, and arrange attractively on the plate.
  4. Sauté green onion and garlic in a pan to release fragrance, then add pork, vegetables, and seasonings, stir-frying quickly over high heat.
  5. Place the yangjangpi and stir-fried ingredients in the center of the plate and drizzle with mustard sauce to finish.

Cooking tips 💡

  • Mustard must be mixed with hot water and fermented in a warm, sealed environment to eliminate bitterness and enhance its sharp, vibrant flavor.
  • Pre-mixing the boiled yangjangpi with toasted sesame oil prevents sticking and helps maintain its chewy texture throughout.
  • Avoid overcooking seafood—blanch briefly in boiling water and cool immediately to preserve a firm, bouncy texture.
