Prepare the twisted green peppers: Take 6–8 twisted green peppers. Lightly smash each pepper with the flat side of a cleaver. Then, cut them into pieces using a rolling cut technique. (Tip: Be sure to discard all the seeds of twisted green peppers if you don’t want the dish to turn out fiery hot.)

Prepare the fermented black beans: Place 1 tablespoon of fermented black bean in a small bowl and add a splash of water to rehydrate them.

Dry-fry the peppers: Heat a wok or pan without any oil. Add the cut twisted green peppers and sauté until they are dry and slightly charred. Once cooked, remove the peppers from the wok and set aside.

Cook the pork belly: Add the 500–800 grams sliced pork belly to the hot wok. Sauté the pork belly slices until they are cooked through, have rendered some fat, and are slightly browned.

Add aromatics: Add 1 peeled clove garlic, 2 slices ginger, and the prepared 1 tablespoon fermented black bean to the wok with the pork. Stir-fry for a short period to release their fragrance.

Add seasonings and onion: Pour in 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 1 tablespoon oyster sauce, 1/2 tablespoon sugar, and 1/2 tablespoon dark soy sauce. Immediately add 1 sliced red onion. Stir-fry everything together until the onions are slightly softened and the pork is well coated with the sauce.

Combine with peppers: Return the previously dry-fried twisted green peppers to the wok.

Deglaze and finish: Pour in 1 tablespoon Shaoxing wine. Stir-fry all the ingredients together until they are well combined and heated through.

Serve: Transfer the Chili Stir Fry Pork to a serving plate and enjoy.
