Red Pork with Beans

Ingredients

Sugar - 2 tablespoons
Pork Blood - 14.1 oz
Dry White Wine - 1 tablespoon
Grated Ginger Root - 0.2 pieces
Mild Chili Spice - 1 piece
Cinnamon - 1 piece
Soy Sauce - 3 tablespoons
Vegetable Oil - to taste
Water - to taste
Chinese green beans - to taste

Step by Step guide

Step 1

First, cut the meat into small pieces.

Step 2

Pour vegetable oil into a wok, heat it over low heat, add 1 tablespoon of sugar, and stir constantly until dissolved. Slightly increase the heat and bring the mixture to a light brown caramel color.

Step 3

Add the pieces of pork to the wok, stir quickly, and to avoid scratching the surface, it's best to use a silicone spatula. Now each piece is coated with the oily-sugar mixture, which means it won't release juice. This way, you'll get a crust on the outside and juicy meat on the inside.

Step 4

Add the wine and sauté a little more. Meanwhile, chop the ginger and cinnamon and add them to the wok.

Step 5

Pour water over the meat just enough to cover it and bring it to a boil. While the water is boiling, chop the chili pepper and add it to the meat. It will be spicy, but just right.

Step 6

As soon as it boils, reduce the heat to a gentle simmer and let it bubble quietly for about 30 minutes. Rice or vegetables make a suitable side dish - for example, green beans - just sauté them in oil, sprinkle with coarse salt, and a worthy side dish for a Chinese-style dinner is ready! Five minutes before the meat is done, add 3 tablespoons of soy sauce to the wok.
