In reply to Magdalena. Thank you for sharing this, Magdalena! I’m so glad it worked well with soy meat too.

I tried this recipe but with soy meat instead of pork and still tasted amazing! Thank you for sharing

In reply to Charlie Ruff. That sounds like a great adjustment. I’m glad you enjoyed it, and proper Sichuan-style pickled chillies really do make a difference. Hot and sour soup is a perfect next choice.

Made this tonight and I only used one tablespoon of the pickled peppers on consideration of my wife’s tastes. It had just a little heat and the pickled taste was a little different. I did add more garlic to make up for the smaller amount of peppers. I was able to secure the actual Sichuan-style pickled chili peppers through the Mala Market. Altogether, a very nice supper. Next on the agenda is hot and sour soup. Yum.

In reply to Denise Rodel. Thank you so much for sharing this, I’m so glad your family enjoyed the dish (especially your daughter with the wood ear mushrooms! They do add a lovely crunch). I hope you have fun exploring the next recipe!

Hi Wei, Thanks for sharing your recipes. I cooked the Sichuan Pork with Garlic Sauce this evening for my family. I had all the ingredients apart from the wood ear mushrooms which I managed to get from our local Chinese supermarket. My daughter who doesn’t like mushrooms usually, really enjoyed these as she said they were crunchy rather than soft and squidgy! The dish was really tasty and easy to prepare and I served it with jasmine rice as we prefer that to long grain. The hard part now is knowing what recipe to try next, there are so many tasty sounding ones on your website.

In reply to Jeff Hale. Thanks for the kind words Jeff! Adding bean sprouts sounds like a great twist.

In reply to Aprillen. The saltiness of sauces always varies depending on the brands. If using a substitute, I suggest you add less than the suggested quantity and taste to adjust. Happy cooking!

Hi! I saw that someone else had asked if sambal oelek could be substituted for the pickled chili, which is good news since I have a big jar of that already. My question is, can it be substituted 1:1, or is one of those sauces hotter than the other? Should I add something else to get the same flavour as when using the Sichuan pickled chili?
Thank you!
