  1. Place red pepper flakes in a small bowl of hot water. Let soak until softened.

  2. Heat a wok over medium-high heat until very hot, pour in oil. Add peppercorns, toss briefly until aromatic. Add garlic, stir until aromatic, 10 to 15 seconds. Add ground pork, saute until until browned and crumbly, about 2 minutes.

Recipe Note

This is one of those extremely simple recipes that is a staple of its culture, yet it is so difficult to find an authentic recipe. I received this from someone who was born and raised in Sichuan province. Serve with fresh steamed white rice.
