Galloping Horses is a delightful Sichuan dish of twice-cooked pork slices stir-fried with scallions, ginger, and garlic, along with a generous amount of dried chili flakes and doubanjiang (fermented chili bean paste). The pork is first boiled, then stir-fried until crispy, resulting in a dish that is both tender and flavorful. It's also incredibly easy to make, requiring just a handful of pantry staples.
In addition to the classic Galloping Horses recipe, the linked article also includes variations such as:
- **Braised Galloping Horses with Cabbage**: This version features pork belly simmered until fall-apart tender in a rich sauce made with doubanjiang, soy sauce, and aromatics like ginger and scallions. The cabbage adds a sweet, fresh flavor to the dish.
- **Galloping Horses with Yams**: In this variation, the pork is stir-fried with yams, bell peppers, and peanuts. The yams add a sweet and starchy element to the dish, while the bell peppers and peanuts provide a crunchy texture.
- **Galloping Horses with Eggplant**: This recipe combines pork slices, eggplant, and garlic chives. The eggplant soaks up the flavorful sauce, and the garlic chives add a pungent, garlicky flavor.
- **Galloping Horses with Tofu**: For a vegetarian take on the dish, this recipe uses tofu instead of pork. The tofu is stir-fried until crispy and then coated in the same flavorful sauce as the other variations.
No matter which recipe you choose, you're in for a treat. Galloping Horses is a delicious and versatile dish that is sure to become a family favorite.
GALLOPING HORSES
I love Thai cuisine. Here is one appetiser that I serve at parties. It is a must that you use the garnish. A Madhur Jaffrey recipe. ( My favourite cookery author). Fruit serves as the base of this open sandwich kind of dish.

Steps:
- Peel and slice the oranges crossways into 5 slices each omitting the side slices and carefully remove all the white pith and the seeds/ You can use 10 pineapple slices too sometimes as the oranges we get in India are not as compact as the western oranges.
- Arrange the slices on a platter in a single layer.
- Heat oil in a fry pan on medium heat and saute the onions until they brown.
- Add the meat and stir till it is brown.
- Reduce heat and add the peanuts, sugar and fish sauce.
- Stir till the sugar has melted.
- Put 1 tblsp or more of this meat mixture in the middle of each orange slice (divide the mix over the ten slices) Place one slice of chilli (Oh! Galloping horses) and 1 leaf of the coriander leaf on each heap of meat and serve at room temperature.
GALLOPING HORSES (MA HO)
Fruit with a savory meat topping. For the coriander root: look for cilantro bunches sold with their roots still attached. They may be tiny or up to several inches long. If you can't find any cilantro root, substitute chopped cilantro stems with a few leaves mixed in.

GALLOPING HORSES(MA HO)
"Ma Ho, is a popular Thai hors d'oeuvre, a spicy meat mixture usually served in tangerine segments. We made it into easier finger food by filling endive leaves." I haven't tried these but my friend Georgina made them and they all seemed to enjoy them. She found it on atasteofthai.com.
