Jing jiang pork strips or jing jiang rou si(京醬肉絲) is a traditional Beijing dish of thin meat strips in sweet and salty sauce. This vegan adaptation uses king oyster mushroom(杏鮑菇) instead of pork.

Jing jiang rou si is typically served with a thin flour pancake called chun bing(春餅) and finely sliced scallion; try making my chun bing recipe to go with it.
