Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb pork shoulder or pork belly, thinly sliced
- 4 pieces of mo (Chinese flatbread), about 6 inches in diameter
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1-inch piece ginger, minced
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon hoisin sauce
- 1 teaspoon Chinese five-spice powder
- 1 teaspoon ground Sichuan peppercorns
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Vegetable oil, for cooking
Instructions
Step1: Marinate the Pork
- In a bowl, combine soy sauce, hoisin sauce, minced garlic, minced ginger, Chinese five-spice powder, ground Sichuan peppercorns, salt, and pepper.
- Add the thinly sliced pork and mix well to coat. Let it marinate for at least 10 minutes.
Step2: Cook the Pork
- Heat a tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
- Add the marinated pork and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Stir occasionally to ensure even cooking. Remove from heat and set aside.
Step3: Prepare the Mo (Flatbread)
- While the pork is cooking, heat a dry skillet over medium heat.
- Lightly toast each piece of mo until warmed through and slightly crispy on both sides, about 1-2 minutes per side.
- Alternatively, you can warm them in a toaster oven or a low oven.
Step4: Assemble the Roujiamo
- Take each piece of toasted mo and carefully cut it halfway through to create a pocket.
- Fill each mo with a generous amount of the cooked pork filling.
Step5: Serve
- Serve the roujiamo hot, optionally garnished with cilantro or chopped green onions.
