Best Twice-Cooked Pork in Washington

Updated April 2026

Twice Cooked Pork is one of the most classic dishes in Sichuan cuisine, known for its rich, savory flavor and aromatic stir-fry. The dish is made by first simmering pork belly until tender, then slicing it thinly and stir-frying it with ingredients such as fermented chili bean paste (doubanjiang), garlic, leeks, and sometimes cabbage or peppers.
The name “twice cooked” refers to this two-step cooking process. The initial simmering tenderizes the pork, while the second cooking in a hot wok develops deep flavor and a slightly crispy texture. With its balance of savory, spicy, and aromatic elements, Twice Cooked Pork is considered a cornerstone of traditional Sichuan home-style cooking.
