- [Authentic Recipe]
- Wash Yunnan's black preserved turnip 'Da Tou Cai' to remove excess salt, then mince finely.
- Prep lean minced pork, massaging with a dash of wine and soy.
- Mince green chilies (or bell peppers) and red chilies to the exact same size.
- Heat oil in a wok; fry minced pork until moisture evaporates and it becomes crumbly.

- Add chilies and toss rapidly on high.
- Since the pickles are very salty and flavorful, season purely with a tiny dash of sugar and soy.

Trivia
Alongside the tomato-based 'Hong San Duo', this is a twin pillar on every Yunnan menu. 'San Duo' means the three ingredients gather like flowers.
Eating tips & etiquette
Never eat plain. Scoop heavily with a spoon and dump over hot white rice. The crunch of the pickles, bounce of the pork, and snap of the chilies mix in your mouth; no amount of rice is enough.
