Chinese Recipe : Stewed Pork

This is a Northern Chinese recipe

Ingredients:

• 2 tbsps oil
• 2 lb pork shoulder, butt or lean sides, cut into 2 inch cubes
• 3 slices ginger root
• 4 scallions, cut into 2 inch pieces
• 3 whole star anise
• 5 tbsps dry sherry
• ¾ cup soy sauce
• 2 tbsps granulated or brown sugar
• Scallion rings to garnish

Directions:

1. Heat the oil in a pan and add the pork, ginger and scallions. Stir-fry until the pork is lightly browned.
2. Transfer the meat to a saucepan, using a slotted spoon. Reserve the ginger and scallions. Add the anise, sherry, soy sauce, sugar and sufficient water to cover the meat. Bring to the boil, then cover and simmer for 1 hour or until the pork is tender, shaking the pan occasionally to prevent sticking.
3. Arrange the scallions around the edge of a warmed serving plate. Place the ginger in the center and pile the pork on top. Serve hot garnished with a few scallion rings.
