Yuxiang shredded pork 鱼香肉丝


Yuxiang shredded pork (Chinese: 魚香肉丝; pinyin: yúxiāng ròusī; sometimes translated as fish-flavored pork slices, or more vaguely as shredded pork with garlic sauce) is a common dish in Sichuan cuisine. Yuxiang is one of the main traditional flavors in Sichuan.

Yuxiang shredded pork appeared in recent decades. The creator is a chef from Sichuan who lived during the early Chinese republic. Yuxiang (sometimes translated as "fish flavor") is made of paolajiao, Chuan salt, soy, white sugar, bruised ginger, garlic and green star but no fish. This seasoning has nothing to do with fish, instead of imitating the seasoning and method, which people in Sichuan use when cooking fish. The seasoning contains salty, sweet, sour, hot, and fresh tastes, making the food more delicious.

The grounded toasted peanuts and soybeans on top of noodles gave the special texture of crispness.
