Ingredients
- 2-3 tablespoon neutral cooking oil generic cooking oil
- 1 kg pork shoulder
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 medium onion chopped finely
- ½ cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoon cooking rice wine optional
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- 2 teaspoon five-spice powder
- 1-2 cups water
- 2 teaspoons corn starch dissolved in 2 tablespoon water
Instructions
- Heat oil in a pot over medium heat. Sear the pork shoulder slab on all sides just until lightly browned. Remove meat from oil and set aside.
- From the same pot with oil, saute garlic and onion until limp and aromatic.
- Add back the meat. Pour in soy sauce and cooking rice wine and add the brown sugar and five-spice powder and cook until sugar has caramelized.
- Pour in water enough to cover the meat. Cover pot with lid and let it simmer over low heat until meat is fork-tender.
- Remove cover and turn the heat to medium-high to reduce the liquids. Add the cornstarch slurry and simmer until the sauce becomes thick.
- Take the meat from the sauce and let it rest for 10 minutes on a cutting board. Slice the pork into thin slices.
- Arrange the slices on a serving dish. Drizzle the thick sweet-savory sauce on top of the meat and serve while still warm.
