Sichuan Double-cooked Pork Belly Stir-fry

Double-Cooked Pork is a classic dish from Sichuan, loved for its bold flavours and tender, juicy pork. The name comes from its unique cooking method—first, the pork belly is boiled until tender, then sliced and stir-fried with aromatic ingredients like garlic, ginger, and Sichuan chilli bean paste (doubanjiang), along with fresh vegetables such as green peppers and leeks.

The real magic lies in the balance of flavours. The savoury, rich pork is paired with a hint of heat from the chillies, while the vegetables bring freshness to the dish. The pork gets beautifully crisp on the outside while staying deliciously soft inside, creating an irresistible texture.

Best served with steamed rice, Twice-Cooked Pork is a comforting, hearty dish that captures the essence of authentic Sichuan cuisine. It’s the perfect choice for anyone looking to enjoy the full-bodied, robust flavours of Chinese home cooking.
