Chinjao rosu is a classic Chvinese dish made by stir-frying thinly sliced ​​green peppers and meat (pork or beef).

In Chinese, it is written as 青椒肉絲, with “青椒” meaning green pepper, “肉” meaning meat, and “絲” meaning thinly sliced. When stir-fried with red or yellow peppers as in this recipe, it is called 彩椒肉絲. (彩 means colorful.)

In China, this dish is generally made with pork, but in Japan, beef is also often used.

Chinjaorosu has become established as a popular Chinese dish around the world, and the ingredients and seasonings have been changed to suit local tastes.

The key to cooking it is to cut the ingredients into thin stripes and to rub the meat with seasoning before stir-frying.

This allows it to cook in a short time, resulting in a colorful dish with a good texture.

In addition, the meat is rubbed with potato starch, which helps it stay tender, and the sauce is given just the right thickness so that the flavor can be absorbed into the ingredients.

Boiled and packaged bamboo shoots can be purchased at supermarkets all year round and are easy to eat.

However, fresh bamboo shoots harvested in May are delicious.For this recipe, we used fresh bamboo shoots after preparing them at home.

It takes some effort, but the flavor is all the more delicious. Be sure to give this special seasonal dish a try.
