Stir-fried Preserved Pork with Fermented Chili

　　Chili peppers are a staple in the Tujia people’s daily diet all year round, used in steaming, stir-frying, boiling, braising, and mixing. “Red oil chili” is a particularly common seasoning. Fermented chili is made primarily from Shizhu red chili peppers and cornmeal. After roasting the fermented chili in a pan, it is stir-fried with Tujia-style preserved pork, or used as the base layer in a steamed bowl dish.
