Title: Chinese Chives With Fly Heads
Categories: Pork, Taiwanese
Yield: 1 Batch
1 lb Pork; minced
2 tb Chinese black bean
5 oz Chinese chives; preferably
-the ones with flowers
2 tb Fresh Thai chili; seeded and
-chopped
2 tb Soy sauce; +2 tb
2 tb Cooking wine
1 ts Sugar
1/3 ts Sesame oil
1 cl Garlic; minced
2 sl Ginger; minced
1 Scallion; minced
Soak the black beans 2 tb of water for 5 minutes. Raise and drain.
Chop the Chinese chives into tiny pieces. Marinate the pork with 2 ts
of soy sauce and 1 tb of cooking wine.
Pre-cook the pork. This is a key step to determine if you can achieve
that restaurant quality at home. You will need a cookware that can
heat up to high temperature and has good heat retention. I use a cast
iron wok.
Over high heat, heat up the wok until you see continuous smoke. Add 1
tb of oil and add 1/3rd of minced pork. Quickly spread out the pork
to ensure you get a quick and nice sear to lock in the juice, about
1-1/2 minutes. Set the pork aside and repeat this for the rest of the
pork. If you see a good amount of liquid coming out of your pork that
means your cookware is not hot enough.
Alternative you can deep fry the pork over low-medium heat. I suspect
that's what the restaurants do.
Over high heat, stir fry the black bean, minced garlic and ginger in
1 tb of oil.
Add pre-cooked pork and chopped chives. Mix rest of soy sauce, cooking
wine, and sugar. Cook for about 2 minutes. Add salt if necessary. Add
a few drops of sesame oil at the end. Before serving sprinkle some
chopped scallion.
