Step by Step guide

Step 1

Prepare all the ingredients. Preheat the oven to 356°F.

Step 2

Slice the ginger into thick rounds and cut the chili pepper in half.

Step 3

Place a heavy-bottomed saucepan over heat and add ginger, chili, star anise, cinnamon, sugar, and orange zest.

Step 4

Pour in the soy sauce, broth, and wine, bring to a boil, and simmer for 5 minutes until the mixture slightly thickens.

Step 5

Line a deep baking dish with parchment paper.

Step 6

Place the pork in a baking dish and drizzle with the prepared syrup. Cover with a sheet of paper and foil, tightly sealing the edges, and bake in the oven for 1.5 hours.

Step 7

Turn the pork over, seal it again, and return it to the oven for another 1.5 hours.

Step 8

Cut the plums in half and remove the pits.

Step 9

After 3 hours of baking, remove the foil and paper cover from the baking tray, add the plums, and return it to the oven for another 15–25 minutes, until the meat is browned.
