Step 1 of 8

1. Chop your pork into chunks 2. Personally I always boil the raw pork for 30 seconds before hand. Hygiene reason 3. Drain it dry

Step 2 of 8

Chop your garlic and spring onion (green onion) before hand so you don't panic when cooking!

Step 3 of 8

Ingredients to add: 1 glass of Soy sauce Pepper Sugar (brown sugar or crystal cane) 1 wine glass worth of Taiwanese whiskey (紹興）

Step 4 of 8

Fry the pork chop with garlic until its golden brown but not fully cook! All we want is to get it crispy from the outside.

Step 5 of 8

Once it's brown then add soy sauce and pepper.

Step 6 of 8

Add your whiskey , spring onion, sugar, and secret ingredient dry plum powder (梅粉). Boil it with lid on for 20mins.

Step 7 of 8

Leave the lid on and DO NOT remove the lid and let it boil for another hour!!!

Step 8 of 8

Be patient and wait until dinner time! I find that by reheating the stew makes it taste even better! The gravy is also great with rice and spinach!

530 Grams A pack of lean pork

3 spring onion (green onion)

8 Cloves of garlic

1 Glass of Taiwanese whiskey

1 Pinch Pepper for seasoning

5 Pinches Sugar ( crystal or brown)

3 Pinches Dry plum powder

Plum powder is just a secret ingredient that my dad add so you can just use five spice powder if you have that! Good luck!!

Thank you, Air. That's easy then, I already have rice wine, so I just need to look for the plum powder.

As to you question it would have to be Asian alcohol! It can also be rice wine if you can't find Taiwanese whisky. You should be able to find either of those in most of the Chinese supermarket! :) let me know how it goes if you ever decide to make it! :)

Thank you so much Laura! Oops on the garlic and the other quantities, it must sound like one powerful meal with my typo! Heehee

I second the Whiskey question. Substitutes? I can not find the one used.

Erin Grosz 8 months ago

That looks delicious! You might want to check your supplies list - I think a couple of your quantities are a little bit off. (A gallon of garlic and a quart of whiskey seem high! But the quantities you list in the guide itself make sense). Would other kinds of whiskey, like bourbon or Tennessee whiskey or scotch be good substitutes if we can't find the whiskey you list? I'm also excited to find and try your secret ingredient! Thanks for a great guide.
