Yuxiang shredded pork (Chinese: 魚香肉絲; pinyin: yúxiāng ròusī; sometimes translated as fish-flavored pork slices, or more vaguely as shredded pork with garlic sauce) is a common dish in Sichuan cuisine.
When the pork and vegetables are coated in the deliciously spicy and garlicky sauce (thanks to the addition of spicy bean paste, 豆瓣酱), the flavors and textures make for a wonderfully saucy, traditional Yu Xiang Rou Si Sichuan homestyle dish. So put on a pot of rice, and start cooking!
Cut pork into 3 cm long, thin slices. Combine pork slices, Chinese cooking wine, salt and 1 tbsp cornstarch in a medium-sized bowl, mix well. Add 1 tbsp oil, toss well, set aside. Cut carrot and bamboo shoots into thin, almost shredded, slices about 3 cm long. Set aside. Mince garlic and ginger, set aside separate from vegetables.
The authentic version of Xu-Xiang Rou-Si uses shredded pork. It is quickly cooked with carrot, pepper, wood ear mushrooms, Sichuan pickled chili pepper, a sweet and sour chili garlic sauce, and lots of fresh herbs, such as ginger, scallion, and garlic. However, when I was developing this recipe, I made a few tweaks to the original approach.
