Hunan Home-Style Pork and Peppers Stir-Fry

Jump to Recipe Jump to Video Print Recipe

I first had this dish at a Chinese restaurant in London, many years ago. I remember instantly falling in love with the dish. It looked so simple, with only a few ingredients. The flavours were well balanced, just the right amount of all the right flavour combinations.

This was one of the yummiest stir-fry dishes I’ve had.

This is apparently a “home style” dish from Hunan, China. Each household would have their own version of this dish, and it’s quite a “common” dish to have, in that if you’re stuck for ideas for a meal, then this dish would be it.

It’s also easy to make, and very delicious.
