Steps:
- The first step is to blanch the pork belly, which removes any blood or impurities from the meat. To do this, add the pork belly and 3 slices of ginger to a pot with enough cold water to submerge the pork belly. With the lid on, bring it to a boil. Once the pot boils, turn down the heat and simmer for one more minute. Drain, rinse the pork belly clean, and set aside.
- With the wok set over low heat, add the oil and rock sugar (or 3 tablespoons regular sugar). Slowly melt the sugar, taking care to not let it burn. Then add in the pork belly, 3 slices ginger, and the white parts of the scallions. Turn up the heat to medium. Stir and coat the pork belly with the melted sugar.
- Now, add the Shaoxing wine, light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, cinnamon, star anise, bay leaves, dried chili peppers, and water. Stir and make sure everything is submerged. There will be some caramelized sugar on your spatula, dissolve it in the water before covering the wok. Bring the mixture up to a simmer over medium low heat for 1 hour. Check the pork periodically to make sure the sauce doesn't dry up.
- Once the pork is to your liking in terms of tenderness, turn up the heat to cook off any excess sauce, stirring constantly. The sauce will reduce to a glistening coating on the pork belly. Last, add in the remaining ½ teaspoon sugar and the green parts of the scallions. Stir quickly and serve!

RED-COOKED PORK BELLY
Steps:
- Bring water to a boil in a 3- to 4-quart heavy pot. Add pork belly and return water to a boil. Skim foam, then add wine. Reduce heat to moderate and briskly simmer, partially covered, skimming occasionally, 20 minutes. Add all remaining ingredients except bok choy, reduce heat to low, and simmer, partially covered, turning pork occasionally, until skin and meat are very tender, about 3 hours.
- Transfer pork with tongs and a spatula to a platter and keep warm, covered with foil. Pour cooking liquid into a 12-inch heavy skillet (do not skim off fat) and boil until reduced to a syrup (about 1 cup), about 25 minutes. Pour through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl, discarding solids.
- Cook bok choy in a large pot of boiling water until bright green and crisp-tender, about 2 minutes. Drain thoroughly in a colander and pat dry with paper towels. Arrange bok choy around pork and pour sauce over meat, drizzling a little over vegetables.
SLOW-COOKED RED BRAISED PORK BELLY
This is one of the most common Chinese household dishes. You almost never find this dish in restaurants because it takes a long time to cook and because it is gloriously fatty. Serve with steamed rice and your choice of vegetable.
