I’d like to share a delicious home-style dish with you today—stir-fried cured meat with Zhangshugang peppers and fermented black beans.

| Ingredient | Amount |
|---|---|
| Zhangshugang chili peppers | 20 as needed |
| Cantonese-style Chinese sausage (lap cheong) | 2 as needed |
| Garlic | 3-5 |
| Garlic scapes (green garlic) | 1 as needed |
| Salt | 1 as needed |
| Light soy sauce | 1 as needed |
| Fermented black beans (douchi) | a pinch |

Prepare the Zhangshugang chili peppers and Cantonese-style Chinese sausage.

Have all the ingredients prepped and ready to go.

Wash the Zhangshugang peppers and flatten them with the flat side of a knife. Slice the Chinese sausage diagonally into thin rounds. Mince the garlic and cut the garlic scapes into segments. Heat a wok with a little oil over low heat, add the sausage and pan-fry slowly until the fat renders out. Remove the sausage and set aside, leaving the rendered fat in the wok. Add the peppers and stir-fry, pressing them down occasionally.

Cook until the pepper skins are slightly blistered and charred. Season with 1 tsp salt and toss evenly. Add the minced garlic and fermented black beans, stir-frying until fragrant.

Return the sausage to the wok, drizzle in 1 tbsp light soy sauce, and stir-fry vigorously over high heat to coat everything evenly. Add the garlic scapes and toss over high heat for 1-2 minutes until just cooked. Serve immediately.

Done cooking.

Transfer to a serving plate.

Plate and serve.

Irresistibly aromatic!

Absolutely delicious — pairs perfectly with a bowl of steamed rice!
