Time 3h

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 pounds pork belly (fresh unsmoked bacon), in one piece
12 scallions, trimmed
6 slices fresh ginger 1/4 inch thick
1 tablespoon salt
3 tablespoons peanut oil
2 tablespoons finely chopped garlic
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh ginger
1 1/2 tablespoons chili paste with soybeans (sold in Chinese groceries)
1 tablespoon rice wine or dry sherry
1 tablespoon soy sauce (preferably thin)
2 teaspoons sugar
1 teaspoon Sichuan peppercorns (sold in Chinese groceries), ground in a mortar
1 tablespoon cilantro leaves

Steps:

  • Place pork, 6 scallions, ginger and salt in large pot. Add water to cover. Bring to a boil, cover, and simmer 1 1/2 to 2 hours, until tender. Remove meat, and discard liquid. When pork has cooled, remove skin and any bones. Cut meat in half crosswise, then slice it thinly lengthwise.
  • Slice remaining scallions lengthwise, then in 3-inch pieces.
  • Heat oil in wok or skillet. When very hot, add pork and stir-fry until lightly browned, 6 to 8 minutes. Pour off excess oil and fat. Add garlic and ginger, and stir-fry 10 seconds. Add scallions, and stir-fry 2 minutes. Add chili paste, rice wine, soy sauce, sugar and Sichuan pepper, and stir-fry another minute. Scatter with cilantro and serve.

This dish was a bit too spicy for me, but my husband loved it. I'll definitely make it again, but I'll use less chili peppers next time.

I followed the recipe exactly and the pork turned out perfectly. The sauce was a little too sweet for my taste, but that's easily fixed.

This twice-cooked pork recipe is a keeper! The pork was so tender and flavorful, and the sauce was the perfect balance of sweet, sour, and savory.
