Boiled Pork Slices in Spicy Broth is a classic Sichuan dish with a mala (numbing & spicy) flavor, tender silky pork slices, and crisp vegetables. It goes with rice exceptionally well. Pork tenderloin provides high protein, and paired with vegetables like bean sprouts, it offers a balanced nutritional profile. The method is somewhat involved, especially the patient marinating of the pork slices and the preparation of knife-cut chili. Beginners should allow about 1 to 2 hours to complete it.水煮肉片是一道麻辣鲜香、肉片滑嫩、配菜爽脆的经典川菜,极其适合下饭。猪里脊提供优质蛋白质,搭配豆芽等蔬菜,营养均衡。做法稍显繁琐,尤其需要耐心腌制肉片和制作刀口辣椒,新手大约需要 1 至 2 小时完成。

Extra tips

  • Choose the bottom vegetables based on your taste (mushrooms, napa cabbage, lettuce, etc.).垫底的蔬菜根据自己口味选择(蘑菇、白菜、油麦菜等)。
  • If making knife-cut chili seems too much trouble, you can substitute dried red chili segments and Sichuan peppercorns.刀口辣椒制作嫌麻烦也可以直接用干辣椒段和青花椒代替。
  • Pay special attention to marinating the meat (stir in one direction, thoroughly remove blood water) and ensuring tenderness (mix egg white and starch evenly).特别注意肉的腌制(搅拌的时候朝着一个方向、血水处理干净),保证肉滑嫩(鸡蛋清、淀粉搅拌均匀)。
  • Boiled beef slices can be made using this same method.水煮牛肉也可以按照这个做法。
