Story

This is a dish I genuinely crave. Tearing the cabbage by hand leaves rugged edges that catch every drop of sauce, while sizzling pork belly renders its own rich fat into the wok. A punch of ginger and garlic builds the foundation before the cabbage hits the heat. Once tender and seasoned with light soy sauce, the real character emerges: that signature numbing heat from Sichuan peppercorns and chili oil. A final scatter of scallion segments keeps the whole thing bright and deeply addictive.
