Time 32m

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 tablespoon Chinese rice wine
1 tablespoon soy sauce paste
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 teaspoon white sugar
3 dashes ground white pepper
½ pound ground pork
⅓ cup Taiwanese pickled cucumbers with brine, chopped
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
2 small shallots, thinly sliced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon minced fresh ginger
¼ teaspoon ground star anise
1 ½ cups water
¼ teaspoon sesame oil
2 green onions, chopped

Steps:

  • Mix rice wine, soy sauce paste, soy sauce, sugar, and white pepper together in a bowl.
  • Mix ground pork with brine from cucumbers together in a bowl.
  • Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add shallots; cook and stir until golden brown, about 5 minutes. Add pork mixture; cook and stir until no longer pink, 3 to 4 minutes. Push pork and shallots to the sides of the skillet, making a space in the center. Add garlic, ginger, and star anise; stir.
  • Pour water into the skillet; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium low; simmer until sauce reduces to about 1 cup. Stir in chopped cucumbers. Stir in rice wine mixture; cook until flavors combine, 4 to 6 minutes.

This dish was a bit too sweet for my taste, but I think that's because I used a rice vinegar that was too sweet. I'll try making it again with a less sweet rice vinegar.

This recipe was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I think that's because I used a chili paste that was too hot. I'll try making it again with a milder chili paste.

The pickled cucumbers in this dish were a bit too sour for my taste. I think I'll try using a different type of pickle next time.

This dish was a bit too salty for my taste, but I think that's because I used a store-bought soy sauce that was too strong. I'll try making it again with a lower-sodium soy sauce.
