DIRECTIONS

Step 1

Ingredient treatment: Wash 20 grams of scallions, pat them flat, and cut them into sections about 3 - 4 centimeters long. Wash 15 grams of ginger, pat it flat and set aside.

Step 2

Boiling streaky pork: Add 1300ml of water to a pot and bring it to a boil over high heat. Put 600 grams of streaky pork ribs in and boil over medium-low heat for 10 minutes.

Step 3

Cutting streaky pork: After boiling, take out the streaky pork, drain it, and cut it into pieces with sides about 3 centimeters long.

Step 4

Lining the casserole: Lay a bamboo mat in the casserole. Neatly place the flattened ginger and cut scallions to form a "fragrant base".

Step 5

Arranging the meat pieces: Then place the cut streaky pork pieces with the skin facing down and neatly arranged on top of the scallions and ginger in the casserole, ensuring that the meat pieces are closely attached to prepare for stewing and flavor absorption.

Step 6

Preparing the sauce: Add 75 grams of white granulated sugar, 3 grams of salt, 200ml of cooking wine, 30 grams of soy sauce, and 800ml of water to the casserole and stir well.

Step 7

Slow stewing: Cover the casserole with a lid. First, bring the water to a boil over high heat and then turn to low heat for continuous stewing for 1.5 - 2 hours. During the process, maintain a low heat for slow simmering until the meat pieces are soft and glutinous.

Step 8

Decoration and serving: After the meat is cooked, open the lid, sprinkle an appropriate amount of scallions. Blanch an appropriate amount of Shanghai bok choy and place it around. Pour out the Dongpo Pork and it is completed.
