Lesson 5 Homework · Chinese-first practice第五课作业 · 先做，再看答案
The name先懂菜名

有「鱼」，没有鱼

鱼香说的是做鱼时常用的调料香味。鱼香肉丝用猪肉丝、不是鱼肉；名字记住的是调味的方法。The name remembers the fish-style seasoning, not the ingredient.
Three useful moves这课先抓三件事

不是排对十句话

The worksheet contains ten answers; these three are the reusable moves worth carrying into later speech.作业有十个答案；真正值得带走的是下面三个会在以后开口时用到的动作。

同时做两件事

一边……一边……

看菜谱＋学做菜，不是找词序，而是把「同时」说出来：
我一边看菜谱，一边学做菜。

程度带来结果

说得太快 → 听不懂

先听见一个真实的原因，再说结果。以后可以换成「太难」「太慢」「太辣」。

说自己的兴趣

对……有兴趣

你对做什么有兴趣？这里有一个真正的回答空间，而不是唯一排列法。

在锅里放一些油，油热了以后放猪肉丝炒一下儿，然后加姜、蒜和红辣椒一起炒，再加竹笋丝和木耳丝一起炒，最后放准备好的汁炒一下儿，就好了。

The plan — before we cooked计划 · 做之前

照我们的厨房改一改

The plan as it stood on 2026-09-12, before cooking: dinner for three, from one Checkers Sixty60 order. How it actually went comes next, once cooked. Our recipe is a hybrid, doubled. The backbone is Red House Spice: pickled chilli for the heat, carrot, and its amounts of pork, vinegar and soy. Celery comes from The Mala Market, and the sugar level and rice vinegar from The Woks of Life. The rest are our own swaps for what Checkers had.

换料 · what we swapped

原料我们用为什么
瘦猪肉Pork loin chops, sliced ourselves (~800g bone-in)No ready-cut strips. Loin is lean, like the textbook's.
竹笋Carrot + celeryNo bamboo shoots on Checkers. Celery is the Mala Market's own stand-in.
木耳Dried shiitake, 20g (soaks up to ~100g)No wood ear. Chewier and more savoury; the soaking water goes into the sauce.
泡椒Hot Peppadew + 1–2 bird's eyeFills the pickled-chilli slot (the textbook has only fresh 红辣椒).
醋Balsamic + rice vinegar, 1:1No Chinkiang black vinegar; Red House Spice says nothing really replaces it.
淀粉MaizenaSame thing.
豆瓣酱—Not on Checkers. The Mala Market uses pickled chilli or bean paste, so the Peppadew version stands on its own.
料酒— (skipped)Only sweet sherry on offer; the wine is background aroma.

用量 · doubled, serves 3 (4 with rice)

腌肉 · marinade

  • ~600g pork, in matchsticks
  • 4 tsp soy sauce
  • 2 tsp Maizena
  • 2 pinches salt
  • 2 tbsp water
  • 2 tsp oil, stirred in last

调汁 · sauce

  • 2 tbsp balsamic + 2 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 3 tbsp sugar
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp Maizena
  • 6 tbsp shiitake soaking water

Should taste about equally sweet and sour.

下锅 · stir-fry

  • 6 tbsp oil (4 for the pork, 2 after)
  • 4 tbsp hot Peppadew, finely chopped
  • 1–2 bird's eye chillies
  • 4 tsp garlic, 2 tsp ginger
  • ~1 cup each carrot and celery, matchsticks
  • the soaked shiitake, sliced
  • 3–4 spring onions, whites and greens apart

配菜 · 拍黄瓜

  • 2 cucumbers, smashed, salted 10 min, drained
  • minced garlic
  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar, 1 tbsp soy
  • 1 tsp sugar, 1–2 tsp sesame oil

Cool and crisp against the hot pork; no stove.

米饭 · rice

  • 2 cups plain white rice, raw

The everyday South African kind rather than jasmine: a little less fragrant, fine under a saucy stir-fry. Enough for three, with leftovers for fried rice the next day.

买菜 · the Checkers order

Sixty60 order

  • Pork loin chops, 3 packs (300–500g each)
  • Carrots, 1kg
  • Celery, 3 × 75g
  • Spring onions, garlic
  • Bird's eye chillies, 30g
  • Hot piquanté Peppadew, 400g
  • Dried shiitake, 40g
  • Rice vinegar, 300ml
  • Maizena, 500g
  • English cucumbers, 2

Already at home

  • Soy sauce
  • Balsamic, ~50ml (the recipe uses 30ml)
  • Sesame oil
  • Ginger, a week old
  • Last week's spring onions
  • Plain white rice
  • Oil, sugar, salt

Pack sizes leave plenty over: carrot, celery, Peppadew and shiitake for later meals.

顺序 · order of work

When the order arrives
  1. Shiitake into hot water to soak (20–30 min).
  2. Pork chops into the freezer (20–30 min).
While those wait
  1. Start the rice — cook extra; day-old rice is what fried rice wants.
  2. Smash, salt and drain the cucumbers.
  3. Matchstick the carrot and celery; mince garlic and ginger; chop the Peppadew; slice the spring onions, whites and greens apart.
Once the pork is firm
  1. Trim, then slice 3–5mm across the grain into matchsticks; marinate 10–20 min.
  2. Slice the shiitake; strain the soaking water into the sauce.
  3. Mix the sauce.
  4. Dress the cucumber.
Cook — about 10 minutes, fast
  1. Wok on high. Sear the pork in two batches, 1–2 min each, until just pale; set aside.
  2. Down to medium: fry the Peppadew and chilli until the oil turns red (~30 s), then garlic, ginger and the spring onion whites until fragrant.
  3. Back to high: carrot, celery and shiitake, tossed 1–2 min until just softened.
  4. Pork back in; stir the sauce (the Maizena settles) and pour; toss ~30 s until thick and glossy; spring onion greens on top.

All three put in at least as much vinegar as sugar (荔枝口, the "lychee" balance). The textbook uses about a third as much vinegar as sugar, which is why it reads as the mild version. We took the lower sugar because balsamic is already sweeter than black vinegar; the vinegar still comes out ahead.

味道怎么样 · how it tasted

很好吃！挺辣的，可是不会太辣；酸、甜、咸都刚好。大家都很喜欢。

Delicious. Pretty hot, but not too hot. The sweet, sour and savoury balance was good, with a bit of a bite. It went down well.

Answer questions回答问题

不看原文，试着说

  1. 鱼香肉丝这个菜是用什么肉做的？为什么菜的名字里面有「鱼」？
    看参考答案

    是用猪肉丝做的。因为用了做鱼的调料，所以名字里面有「鱼」；可是菜里面没有鱼。

  2. 在锅里炒这个菜的时候，先放什么？然后加什么？最后加什么？
    看参考答案

    先放一些油，油热后放猪肉丝；然后加姜、蒜、红辣椒，再加竹笋丝和木耳丝；最后放准备好的汁。

  3. 你吃过鱼香肉丝吗？你觉得辣不辣？
    参考句型

    我吃过。我觉得有一点儿辣。
    我没吃过，可是我想尝尝。
