Equipment

Instructions
- In a Dutch oven, bring the 2 quarts of water to a boil.
- Add the whole piece of pork belly and the ginger, and bring to a boil again.
- Lower the heat and simmer for 40 minutes, until the pork is tender and cooked through.
- Remove the pork from the pot and run it under cold water for about a minute. Set aside.
- While the pork is cooling, prepare all the other ingredients.
- Once everything is ready to be cooked (do not cook the pork ahead of time, otherwise it may dry out), thinly slice the pork belly; the slices should be approximately ⅛ to ⅙ inch (3 to 5 mm) thick.
- Heat a wok over high heat until it begins to smoke.
- Add 1 tablespoon of soybean (or peanut oil) and sear pork, until lightly caramelized, about 90 seconds.
- Lower the heat to low to medium and remove the pork.
- Add the second tablespoon of soybean or peanut oil to the wok.
- Add the spicy soy bean paste to the wok and fry it in oil for about 30 seconds to bring out the flavor and color, which should be red.
- Add the garlic and sauté for 30 seconds.
- Increase the heat to high and add the pork, peppers, green pepper and leeks.
- Sauté for 1 minute.
- Add the Shaoxing wine, soy sauce and sugar. Mix Everything.
- Once the leeks are wilted and the peppers are cooked (while still having a little crunch), serve immediately.
