Recipe type: Main
 
Ingredients
  • 1 kilo porks shoulder, cut into cubes
  • ¾ cup brown sugar
  • ⅓ cup Chinese cooking wine
  • 2 cups water + 2 tbsp water
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 tsp ginger powder
  • ¼ tsp ground black pepper
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • Optional: top with green onion, thinly sliced.
Instructions
  1. Add sugar and 2 tbsp water in wok, stir until sugar melts.
  2. Add pork and mix it with the syrup.
  3. Add Chinese cooking wine and simmer for 2 minutes, on low heat.
  4. Add 2 cups water. Bring to a boil.
  5. Add ginger, cinnamon, pepper and mix.
  6. Simmer for 1 hour on low heat.
  7. If there's still water in the wok, turn the heat to high until water evaporates. Add soy sauce immediately and mix it. Do not prolong the meat under high heat when the water has evaporated to avoid burning. (Sugar burns quickly and will give a bitter aftertaste.)
  8. Serve with mashed potato or rice.
