Perfect Pork and Bean Sprout Stir Fry Recipe (豆芽炒猪肉)

[@LemLTay]

Can we all take a moment to appreciate Mandy's attention to detail... the pork is shredded into strips to match the beansprouts, chives and red bell pepper, so that the entire finished dish looks neat and harmonious. It's all part of the "instinctive" part of Chinese cuisine passed on almost imperceptibly if one learns in a family, it's not explicitly explained, but how food is cut and matched is part of the old Confucian ideals for harmony and balance even in food. As a contrast, think about a sweet-and-sour pork dish (e.g. gu lao rou) where the meat is cut into cubes, battered and deep fried, so the accompanying vegetables are cut into squares to match.

Hi Mandy. I made this last night, following your directions to the letter - no substitutions or omissions. Instead of serving over rice, though, I made Mandarin pancakes and turned this into mu shu pork, rolling the contents up and eating them by hand. It was almost harder to make the pancakes than the stir-fry. But it all came together and was incredibly delicious!

[@Martiniization]

You are always helpful, Mandy, in addition to being very pleasant and enjoyable. Everyone loves you and wishes you the best. Thank you.

Delicious Mandy……. Lover of sprouts here. I eat by the bowl full sometimes with a heathy dressing. I’ll definitely be trying this recipe with chicken and with Prawns (shrimp). Always look forward to your recipes. Thankyou.

Bean sprouts are my favorite, thanks for the recipe

[@Rodaportal]

This recipe is an absolute delight! Mandy's attention to detail is incredible-matching the shredded pork with beansprouts, chives, and red bell pepper adds a beautiful harmony to the finished dish. Chinese cuisine's subtle attention to harmony and balance in food presentation is truly fascinating. 🥢💖 The result is not just tasty but visually appealing too. Can't wait to try this recipe-it's definitely going on my to-make list! 😋👌

Bean sprouts are a favorite of mine too, eat them raw even.😊

[@KATHIESHOES]

That looked fantastic! Great tip on cutting the pork loin. I can’t find fresh bean sprouts. The canned taste funny. Any ideas???

[@BigHenFor]

Chinese stores sell the fresh beansprouts by the bag. As a sub, go for crisp chinese (napa) cabbage julienned, or any other crisp vegetable like sliced young green beans, mooli radish peeled, sliced, and julienned, or just some frozen peas, or sliced and diced into 1inch squares green, red, and yellow bell peppers. If the veg is taking a little more time to cook, add a tablespoon or two of water, and stir fry until it evaporates away. The steam will bring tougher vegetables to al denté.

[@KATHIESHOES]

Thanks!!

[@defectiveshark7602]

I'd love to try making this- do you recommend a certain cut of beef if you use beef? And do you prefer a type of bean sprout?

[@kathrinewatson6321]

I never thought of that, partially freezing the meat to make it easier to cut

[@simi.n]

Mandy is the best❤

[@ezedozitt21]

It looks delicious! No celery? 😋🍜🎉

[@paulgeary6511]

I WOULD, ALSO*!👍🏻😉🙃🫠👍🏻

[@kindabluejazz]

Sprouts are already green and crunchy, and they have a very mild taste that I think would be masked by the celery. YMMV.

When you say Hoisin sauce almost sounds like "poison sauce" . Ty for the recipe, this one went to the printed booklet i got in the kitchen.

Can you show how to make the brown sauce in Beef and Broccoli like takeout? I guess it's called Mother sauce?

[@SoupedUpRecipes]

[@nothing_burger]

Why no baking soda in the marinade for velveting in this recipe?

[@kindabluejazz]

Usually you use either wine/acid or baking soda for tenderizing, not both. Using together they sorta cancel each other out (pH wise) reducing tenderizing effectiveness, as well as getting all fizzy (baking soda + vinegar volcanoes anyone?). Baking soda can leave a weird taste which might be apparent in a very mildly flavored dish like this. It's more used for heavily flavored Sichuan sauce kinda stuff. The slightly sweet/tart flavor of wine complements this dish better.

[@nothing_burger]

@@kindabluejazz what a great and informative reply, thank you.

Did you put the cooked meat back into the same dish where it was raw? Is that safe?

[@lindaelia2616]

You said to cook the meat til it changes color….about how long is that? This looks like my kind of meal!

[@SoupedUpRecipes]

about 2 minutes over high heat.

[@lindaelia2616]

@@SoupedUpRecipesthank you so much…I’ll give it a try. Here in Hawaii we can buy pork cut into strips for stir fry…but your strips are even thinner so I’ll have to try cutting like you.

[@suztheultimateq2011]

Are they mung bean sprouts or soy bean sprouts or does it matter? Recipes all the time say "bean sprouts", then when I go to the Asian market I never know what to buy. Thanks for the help in advance ❤.

[@johnmiller732]

I believe you could use either, they might cook slightly differently. Try both sometime !

[@kindabluejazz]

Mung bean sprouts are the standard in Chinese cooking. Soy bean sprouts are more common in Korean dishes.

[@susieangelo6410]

It does matter for this recipe. Buy the "regular" Mung Bean Sprouts, the smaller one than the large Soy Bean ones.

[@kova1711]

Everyone, please use pork fat or other animal fat. It is so much healthier than vegetable oils and makes everything taste much better

[@glasperle77]

you say about homemade dishes meanwhile I only eat this when ordering from chinese restaurant because I can eat it. for some reason any type of soy sauce, cooking wine, rice vinegear etc. i get allergic reaction. They might even use the same but I don't get reactions. I often feel so tempted to cook your dishes but when i can't handle 99 percent of the sauces / marinade which is essential , same with garlic , paprika, chilli etc. then there is no use I guess :(
