Twice Cooked Pork, or hui guo rou (回锅肉), is a Sichuan stir-fried pork belly slices with broad bean paste, scallions, or leek, sometimes cabbage is added with bell peppers. This Sichuanese Twice Cooked Pork is another pungent dish packed with punch, that will keep you asking for more!
This is relevant to the cooking process, first, the pork belly is blanched in water added with ginger. Then the meat is soaked in a cold bath to firm up the texture before cutting into slices. The pork is then stir-fried, hence the name, twice cooked pork.
Here are the ingredients of my choice;
Twice Cooked Pork known to some as double-cooked pork, a Sichuan delicacy. Most of Sichuan dishes are packed with intense hotness due to the amount of chili used. This boiled pork and then stir-fried dish are least hot compared to most of the other Sichuan dishes. To further reduce the heat of the chili, I substituted the regular green chili with green capsicum. It is a dish packed with flavors of the soybean’s aromatic. I literally fell in love with this Sichuan delicacy as soon as I tried it. Here is my version of Sichuan Hui Guo Rou – Twice Cooked Pork!

Thank you for this simple recipe. Will try with chicken.
Hi Vinita, yes could definitely go with chicken. But i think the step would be different, due the meat texture. Here is the procedure I suggest for chicken.
1. using whole chicken or drumstick & thigh. Avoid using only Chicken breast, they tend to be too dry due to stir frying will incorporate high temperature cooking process.
2. chop into pieces and lightly marinate with some salt.
3. Instead of boiling, simmer the chicken at low temperature. (Remember to season the water)
4. Follow the cooking process in the videos!
Tips for you:
1. Chicken meat tend to dry out very quickly, the drier the meat is the more harder its get.
2. To avoid that, low temperature will delay the drying process (hence, simmering) and during stir frying (high temperature), do it as quick as possible. So only the outer layer is fried to crisps.
Hope this helps!
Thank you for advice. Noted.
