Today’s stir fry pork tenderloin(滑熘里脊) is a traditional meat dish that was once a must on the menu of wedding feasts decades ago. In our usual impression, meat dishes should be dark red, like braised pork. But there is no soy sauce in today’s dish, just to highlight its white color.
The pursuit of color, aroma, taste and shape in Chinese cuisine has never changed. This pork tenderloin is also no exception.Red carrots, green cucumbers, black fungus and white slices make it a pleasing color. The tender pork slices are mixed with the fragrance of cucumber, which makes the taste of meat dish refreshing. Diamond-shaped cucumbers and carrots complement the tenderloin slices.
In my memory, many traditional dishes I eat at wedding receptions or restaurants have a very special taste, which I call restaurant taste. The taste I reproduced at home was always a little off, maybe because of the heat. After all, the firepower of ordinary stoves at home is still not as good as that of professional stoves.
Stir fry pork tenderloin is also a good dish with white liquor. For Chinese people, if there is wine, there must be meat. A sip of wine and a bite of pork can make me temporarily forget the troubles of the COVID-19:).

Be careful when stir-frying the fungus, it will fry out of the pot, cover the pot or keep away from the pot.
