Fish Flavoured Shredded Pork or Yuxiang Shredded Pork is a Sichuanese dish made with shredded pork stir fried with bamboo shoots, woo ear fungus, spring onions on a special blend of Sichuan seasoning made with combination of Sichuan Pickled Chili Pepper (泡椒, Pao Jiao), Sichuan Salt (Well salt / 井盐/井鹽 / Jǐngyán), Soy Sauce, White Sugar, Spring Onions, Vinegar, Chinese Cooking Wine, Ginger and Garlic. It is named as fish but it does not taste like one but rather the seasonings and method used in preparing this dish is the same as the ones uses by Sichuanese people when they prepare they fish, hence the name.
It was said that this was first created when a Sichuan family who liked eating fish, using the said seasoning above. One day they had some leftover seasoning, and to avoid wasting it she then applied to what she currently has which was not fish. At first, she thought the husband would not like it but unexpectedly loved it. Since then it was further improved until it became well known to in the Sichuan province and appeared in most of the restaurants hence the fish flavour seasoning appears in dishes like Fish Flavoured Pork Liver, Fish Fragrant Eggplant and this dish we have today.
