Ingredients
2 lbs pork
1 scallion stalk
1 slice fresh ginger root
1 garlic clove
2 tbs soy sauce
1 tbs sherry
2.5 tbs oil
1 tbs sugar
5 tbs soy sauce
dash of pepper
Method
Cut pork in 4 equal parts. Cut scallion in 2 inch sections.
Mince ginger root and garlic; then combine with soy sauce and sherry.
Add mixture to pork and toss gently. Let stand 30 minutes, turning meat occasionally; then drain, discarding marinade.
Heat oil in a heavy pan. Add pork and brown quickly on all sides.
Add sugar, remaining soy sauce, pepper and scallion. Simmer, covered, until pork is done (about 45 minutes). Cut in 1 inch cubes and serve.
Note : This dish can be made without water only if a very heavy pot is used. If pork shows signs of burning, however, add quarter cup boiling water.
