🍽️ A fragrant, spicy rice bowl featuring pork stir-fried in fiery chili oil with minced garlic, then simmered with an abundance of mushrooms and vegetables to create a moist, thick sauce that coats the rice.
Cut pork, mushrooms, bamboo shoots, red pepper, and carrot into coarse pieces. Wash bok choy thoroughly and cut into bite-sized pieces.
Bring a pot of water to boil. Add all ingredients except pork—shrimp, mushrooms, bamboo shoots, bok choy, and carrot—and blanch lightly. Remove and drain well, then pat dry.
Heat a pan over medium-high heat. Add chili oil, then stir in minced garlic and sliced pork. Cook until the meat is no longer pink, stirring constantly to release aroma.
Once the pork is partially cooked, add soy sauce 1 tablespoon and oyster sauce 1 tablespoon. Stir to combine and season the meat.
Add the blanched seafood and vegetables to the pan. Toss gently, then pour in 1 cup of water and bring to a simmer, allowing the sauce to blend evenly.
Mix cornstarch 1 tablespoon with water 3 tablespoons. Gradually add this slurry to the pan while stirring continuously, adjusting the thickness until the sauce reaches your desired consistency.
Turn off the heat. Drizzle in a little sesame oil and gently mix to finish the sauce.
Place warm rice in a bowl. Pour the finished spicy Sichuan-style sauce generously over the rice and serve.
Dice pork and vegetables. Blanch all ingredients except pork in boiling water.
Heat chili oil in a pan. Sauté garlic and pork, then add soy sauce, oyster sauce, and blanched ingredients. Pour in water and simmer.
Adjust thickness with cornstarch slurry, drizzle with sesame oil, and serve over warm rice.
Cooking tips 💡
Feel free to use leftover scraps of vegetables and mushrooms from your refrigerator.
Blanching vegetables and mushrooms before cooking helps reduce cooking time and preserves their crisp texture and vibrant color.
For those who prefer more heat, increase the amount of chili oil or add dried chili peppers like bird’s eye chilies.
When adding the cornstarch slurry, lower the heat slightly and stir quickly to prevent lumps and ensure a smooth, silky texture.
