What is Chinjao Rosu

Chinjao Rosu(青椒肉絲) is thinly cut green peppers, bamboo shoots, and thinly sliced meat, stir-fried with some seasonings. This is a classic Chinese dish in Japan. It is said that it is originally from the Guizhou and Hunan provinces of China in the late 18th century, then spread to Sichuan in the 19th century. Then it seems that Mr. Chen Kenmin(陳建民氏) who came to Japan in 1952  popularized it and introduced the authentic taste for home use.

In Japan, beef is often used, and it is common to season it with a soy sauce-based seasoning before frying. In China, it is standard to use thinly sliced ​​pork and stir-fry it with green peppers over high heat. In China, if beef is used, it is called Chingjaoniulosu(青椒牛肉絲).
