STEP 1/11
Put the water to blanch bok choy first and then start trimming the vegetables. Cut only the root end of bok choy and wash it in half, and chop green onions, onions, and bell peppers.
STEP 2/11
When the water boils, soak the bok choy roots first for about 10 seconds
STEP 3/11
Put in the leaves, count to five, and take it out right away.
STEP 4/11
I took it out a few seconds late because I was taking pictures, and the leaves drooped, so I quickly poured cold bottled water.
STEP 5/11
Heat the pan and stir-fry chili oil, ground garlic, ginger and ground pork. If you don't have chili oil, stir-fry dried hot peppers in cooking oil, or if you don't have it, add 1-2 tablespoons of chili powder after the meat is cooked and stir-fry together.
STEP 6/11
When the meat is cooked, add green onions
STEP 7/11
Next, add bell pepper and stir-fry it. If you really like spicy food, add spicy pepper. If I eat too much, I'll get sick, so I'll use bell peppers...
STEP 8/11
Then add the onions and stir-fry. The order of adding vegetables to stir-fry is not that important. I didn't put the onion in for flavor, but I purposely put it in at the end to feel the taste of chewing in the sauce.
STEP 9/11
When the vegetables are cooked properly, lower the heat to medium and mix them well with the sauce
STEP 10/11
Put starch powder in water and stir-fry it until it boils, and the mapa sauce is done
STEP 11/11
The bok choy is cut up and put sauce on it.
Unlike Mapa Tofu, bok choy itself has a sweet taste, so there is no sugar in Mapa sauce. It's even better if you add a bit of sesame oil at the end.
