How to Make Twice Cooked Pork Hui Guo Rou

  1. Place 1 lb pork belly in a large saucepan and cover with 6 cups of water.
  2. Bring to a boil over high heat.
  3. Add 2 tablespoons mirin and 1 tablespoon grated ginger to the boiling water.
  4. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer the pork for 20 minutes. Remove from water, let cool completely, and then thinly slice across the grain into 2-inch pieces.
  5. Clean 1 leek, slice in half lengthwise, then slice into 1-inch pieces.
  6. Clean 1 bell pepper (any color), remove seeds, and chop into 1-inch pieces.
  7. Heat a wok or large skillet over medium-high to high heat. Add 2 tablespoons cooking oil.
  8. Add 1 flattened garlic clove to the hot oil. Fry until very brown (about 1 minute), then remove and discard.
  9. Add the chopped leek to the wok and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
  10. Add the bell pepper pieces and cook for 30 seconds, stirring continuously.
  11. Push vegetables to the side of the wok. Add 1 tablespoon sambal oelek to the center.
  12. Heat briefly (about 15 seconds).
  13. Add 2 tablespoons soybean paste, 1 tablespoon soy sauce, and the sliced pork. Stir well to coat the pork completely with the spicy mixture.
  14. Cook for 1-2 minutes, or until heated through and the sauce has slightly thickened. Serve immediately.
  15. Serve hot with rice.
