A delicious Stir-Fried Sour Cabbage with Pork Intestines recipe.

Clean the parboiled pork intestines thoroughly. Place in cold water with scallion, ginger, 1 star anise, 1 bay leaf, Sichuan peppercorns, and 1 tablespoon of cooking wine. Blanch for 10 minutes, then cut into bite-sized pieces.

Heat oil in a wok. Stir-fry the intestines until the surface turns golden. Add scallion, ginger, pickled chilies, and bird’s eye chilies, and stir until fragrant.

Add 1 tablespoon of cooking wine, then 1 tablespoon each of light soy sauce and dark soy sauce. Stir well, then add the sour cabbage. Season with a pinch of white pepper and chicken bouillon. Sprinkle in diced green chili, then stir-fry over high heat for a quick 30 seconds before serving.


The sour cabbage is delicious too! This is a home-style stir-fry with sour cabbage and pork intestines — savory, sour, spicy, and chewy. Make extra rice! 🤣
