Chinese dish ready in 8 min using easy-level technique. Simple enough for weeknight cooking.
| Ingredient | Amount |
|---|---|
| spring bamboo shoots | 2 as needed |
| broad beans | 200g |
| cured pork | 100g |
| sugar | 1/3 tbsp |
| scallion white | 1 segment |
| starch | 1/2 tbsp |
| MSG | a pinch |

Prepare all ingredients and seasonings. See the ingredient list for exact measurements.

Slice the cured pork, shell the broad beans, mince the scallion white, and slice the bamboo shoots. Blanch the bamboo shoots for 1 minute, then drain and set aside.

Heat a little oil in a wok. Add the cured pork and stir-fry until the fat renders, about 1 minute (medium heat).

Once the cured pork is fragrant, add the minced scallion and stir until aromatic.

Add the blanched bamboo shoots, a pinch of salt, and stir-fry briefly.

Pour in boiling water to just cover the bamboo shoots. Cover and braise for 2 minutes.

After 2 minutes, add the broad beans, cover again, and continue braising for 3 minutes.

After 3 minutes, stir-fry briefly, then thicken with a light starch slurry and plate. (Slurry: 1/2 tbsp starch, a pinch of MSG, 2 tbsp water, mixed well.)
