Ingredients
  • 2 lb. pork butt
  • 4 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 4 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoon Chinese black vinegar
  • A few slices of ginger
  • 1 green onion (why buy from store? grow your own green onion)
Preparation Time: 2 minutes
Cooking Time: 45 minutes
Servings: 4

Cooking Steps

1. High heat a wok with no oil. The pork meat has enough fat to generate oil.
2. Get 2 lb. pork butt, which has mixed lean and fat texture, cut the pork into 1 inch bite size, add to the wok evenly, no overlap. This makes sure all the meat has direct contact with the host wok surface.
3. Let the pork pan fry for about 20 minutes without flipping them. Wait until the bottom turns light golden brown.

Tip:
The wok surface is not heated evenly due to its shape, move the pork chunks around, the ones in the center of the wok tend to be fried first.

4. Turn the heat to medium. Flip the pork chunks that already turn golden brown. Add a few slices of ginger, chopped green onion, let the pork pan fry for 5 minutes.




5. Add 4 tablespoon soy sauce, 4 tablespoon brown sugar, 2 tablespoon Chinese black vinegar, 1 teaspoon black pepper, stir evenly, turn heat to small, cover and simmer for 10 minutes.
