A quick and flavorful Chinese cabbage stir-fry with tender pork belly, garlic, and dried chilies. Perfect for a simple weeknight meal.

  • Total Time: 20 mins
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tablespoons oil
  • 6 oz. pork belly (170g, pork loin, or chicken, thinly sliced)
  • 5 cloves garlic (smashed and cut in half)
  • 5 dried red chilies (deseeded and roughly chopped)
  • 1 1/2 lb. cabbage (680g, hand-shredded into bite-sized pieces, washed, and thoroughly dried)
  • 2 teaspoons Shaoxing wine
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon sugar
  • 1 tablespoon water
  • 1/2 teaspoon Chinese black vinegar
  • 2 scallions (cut into 2-inch lengths)

Instructions

  1. In a wok over high heat, add the oil. Sear the meat until caramelized.
  2. Add the garlic and chili, turn down the heat to medium, and stir-fry for a minute, taking care not to burn the garlic.
  3. Add the cabbage, wine, soy sauce, sugar, and water. Turn up the heat to high, cover the lid, and let the cabbage cook for 1-2 minutes.
  4. Uncover the lid, and stir in the black vinegar, scallions, and salt to taste. The cabbage should be wilted but still slightly crunchy and caramelized. Serve hot!

Notes

  • Use any protein of your choice—pork, chicken, or tofu.
  • Adjust chili quantity based on spice preference.
  • Ensure cabbage is dry to prevent steaming instead of stir-frying.
