How to Make Savory Eight-Treasure Spiced Pork Relish

1. Marinate the Pork

Marinate the pork by combining the pork cubes with 1 tablespoon of water, 1 teaspoon of oyster sauce, 1 teaspoon of Shaoxing wine, 0.5 teaspoon of cornstarch, and 0.5 teaspoon of neutral oil. Let it sit for 20 minutes.

2. Stir-fry the Peanuts

Heat a wok over medium-low heat and add 3 tablespoons of peanut oil. Once the oil is hot, stir-fry 0.75 cup of raw shelled peanuts continuously for about 5 minutes, until they turn golden brown.

3. Cook the Peppers and Bean Sauce

Add 0.75 cup of diced red Anaheim pepper or red bell pepper to the wok and stir-fry for 1-2 minutes. Then, stir in 0.25 cup of spicy bean sauce and cook for another minute.

4. Stir-fry the Pork and Ginger

Clear a space in the center of the wok, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of peanut oil, and add the marinated pork along with 1 teaspoon of minced fresh ginger. Stir-fry the pork and ginger for 1-2 minutes until the pork turns opaque.

5. Combine Ingredients and Cook

Stir the peanuts and peppers back into the center of the wok. Add 3 finely chopped garlic cloves and 2 tablespoons of finely chopped shallot, and cook for 2 minutes over medium-high heat until they are fragrant.

6. Add Vegetables and Sauces

Add 0.75 cup of diced bamboo shoots, 0.75 cup of diced carrots, 0.75 cup of diced baby corn, 0.75 cup of diced tofu, 0.75 cup of diced water chestnuts, 1 tablespoon of hoisin sauce, 1 tablespoon of oyster sauce, 2 teaspoons of sugar, 1 teaspoon of toasted sesame oil, 0.5 teaspoon of fine sea salt, and 0.5 teaspoon of white pepper powder. Stir-fry everything together to combine.

7. Simmer with Stock

Pour in 3 cups of low-sodium chicken or pork stock, bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer uncovered for 30-40 minutes until the liquid reduces to about 1 cup.

8. Thicken the Sauce

Make a slurry by combining 2 teaspoons of cornstarch with 1 tablespoon of water. Gradually add the slurry to the simmering mixture, stirring continuously, until the sauce thickens to your desired consistency.
