Beijing Shredded Pork with Sweet Bean Sauce

Beijing Shredded Pork with Sweet Bean Sauce is a well - known classic Beijing dish, famous for its unique sweet bean sauce flavor and rich texture. This dish uses pork tenderloin, shredded into even strips, marinated with cooking wine, light soy sauce, and starch for 15 - 20 minutes to enhance tenderness. Wash white scallions, shred them into strips similar in length to the pork, and lay them at the bottom of a plate. Heat oil in a pan, add the marinated pork strips and stir - fry until they change color, then set aside. Leave a little oil in the pan, add sweet bean sauce and sugar, and stir - fry slowly over low heat until the sauce becomes fragrant and thick. Then pour in the cooked pork strips and quickly stir to coat each strip evenly with the sauce. The dish features a dark reddish - brown color, with a strong aroma of sweet bean sauce. The tender pork strips, paired with fresh scallion shreds, are rolled in thin pancakes. With one bite, the sweet - savory sauce, tender meat, and crunchy scallions create a rich taste experience. It’s suitable for both formal banquets and daily meals, widely popular in Beijing and across China, and a must - try for experiencing Beijing’s food culture.
