An authentic, mouth-burning but delicious Hunan recipe served by my grandmother, who was born and grew up in the heart of Hunan province.

Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons vegetable oil , or more as needed, divided
  • 2 cloves garlic , crushed
  • 1 ounce fresh ginger , minced
  • 1 pound pork tenderloin , sliced into thin strips, or to taste
  • 3 hots long green chile peppers , sliced into thin strips, or more to taste
  • salt to taste
  • 2 teaspoons soy sauce , or to taste

Instructions

  1. 1

    Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat until smoking; saute garlic and ginger until fragrant, 30 seconds to 1 minute. Add pork to wok; cook and stir until cooked through, 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer pork to a plate.

  2. 2

    Pour remaining 2 tablespoons oil into the same wok over medium-high heat; saute chile peppers until well-coated with oil and fragrant, about 2 minutes. Add pork to chile peppers and generously season with salt. Cook and stir mixture until peppers are tender, 5 to 7 minutes more. Mix enough soy sauce into pork mixture to add color and taste for desired saltiness.
