A quick and common home-cooking recipe from Yunnan: pork or beef, chilies, and tomato stir-fry. It is another rice killer or rice-accompanying dish. The name H\u00f3ng S\u0101n Du\u00f2<\/em> literally translates as “red three chop”, Du\u00f2<\/em> meaning to chop or mince. And the three ingredients are pork<\/strong>, chilies<\/strong>, and tomato<\/strong>. It has a lovely, well-balanced flavor of chili freshness, sweet-and-sour from tomatoes, and aromatics from well-seared minced pork. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"pork<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I first met this on my trip in Yunnan in a small local restaurant. I love food in that region because there are so many ingredients to choose from and so many interesting combinations. The mint beef and mint deep-fried ribs also really appeal to me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is a super-easy recipe because it calls for very common, basic ingredients. I made a larger batch that can serve around 4. We only eat half of them since there are only two of us, and then save the remaining for the noodle soup topping the next day. It is so good in noodle soup too. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Role of the Tomato \u2014 and Why It Matters<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The tomato is doing the work of an entire sauce in most other dishes in this humble dish. Tomato cubes release natural sugars and acids, working as a natural flavor enhancer for minced pork. It also provides a basic sweet-and-sour tone for the dish. If you prefer a hotter version, add some chopped Thai chili pepper.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
