Dry Pot Dried Radish and King Oyster Mushroom
Meaty king oyster mushrooms and chewy dried radish anchor this savory dry-pot stir-fry. Sliced pork belly renders its rich fat into the wok, coating crisp celery, carrot, and green pepper. Pan-fried mushrooms, ginger, and dried chilies add depth and a fiery kick.
Story
There is a particular magic in a dry-pot dish that hinges on texture. Here, rehydrated dried radish brings a satisfying, chewy bite that plays beautifully against the golden, pan-seared slabs of king oyster mushroom. As thin slices of skin-on pork belly sizzle in the wok, they release just enough fat to carry the sharp bite of ginger and the slow burn of dried chilies. Tossed with crisp celery and sweet carrot, every mouthful delivers a robust, savory crunch that begs for a bowl of steamed rice.
