Super easy Hunan Style Pork stir fry.
This is another rice killer I love very much—Hunan style pork stir fried with chili peppers. Judging from the ingredients, you might find they are so common and what makes this dish: Hunan style? The secret lies in the chili peppers. That long green or red pepper is named as Xian Jiao literally mean line pepper is a featured chili pepper from Hunan cuisine. This dish is known as Small farm fried pork due to its common ingredients.
This superior line peppers (as shown in the following picture) have a fresh and spicy taste, which can reduce the greasy taste of pork belly. On the other hand, after absorbing the fat oil coming from the pork, the peppers will become quite savory. If you ever visited China, you may have tried this dish in many restaurants offering stir fry dishes. I guess the impression might be how hot this dish is! So in order to keep the spiciness within an accepting degree, I sprinkle some salt on them and marinated for around 15 minutes.
