Stir-Fried Red Matsutake Mushrooms with Pork Belly
赤松茸炒肉 · pan chinese cuisine
Red matsutake (Tricholoma bakamatsutake) offers nutrition and minerals comparable to true matsutake at a fraction of the price, with excellent texture and flavor. Tip from the source: use a spicy variety of pepper; if unavailable, add a few dried red chili skins while rendering the pork.

Steps
- 1
Step 1
Prepare the ingredients: trim the root ends of the red matsutake mushrooms and wash them, seed and core the peppers, slice the pork belly, and peel the garlic cloves.
✅ Done when: All ingredients are washed, peeled, and ready before cooking begins.

Step 2
Push the pork belly to one side of the board, then slice the mushrooms and garlic, and cut the peppers into chunks.
✅ Done when: Mushrooms and garlic are sliced and peppers are cut into bite-sized pieces.
Heat oil in a wok — use a generous amount, as these mushrooms love oil. Once hot, add the pork belly and stir-fry, cooking it a while longer to render out its fat.
✅ Done when: The pork slices have cooked through and released their fat into the pan.
Add the peppers and stir-fry briefly until their heat is released, then add the mushrooms and garlic slices along with the light and dark soy sauce. Cook about 3-4 minutes, until the mushrooms soften and the sauce thickens. Season with salt to taste, toss a few times, and serve.
✅ Done when: The mushrooms are soft and the sauce has thickened, after roughly 3-4 minutes.

Step 5
Serve hot — the sauce is delicious spooned over steamed rice.
✅ Done when: The dish is plated, with any remaining sauce served over rice.
