Recipe: Five Spice Ground Pork

Just figured this out for dinner. Came out well. Need to figure out some of the amounts of the seasonings.

Ingredients:

• 1 pound of ground pork
• 1/2 a clove of garlic minced
• 6 inch slices of ginger (on the bias)
• 1 tbsp of sugar
• 1 tsp of sesame oil
• five-spice (五香料)
• soy sauce
• xiao shing rice wine
• cooking oil (I like peanut oil)

Procedure:

• Mix ground pork, garlic, sugar, sesame oil, five spice, soy sauce and rice wine together. Stop as soon as it is mixed well enough.
• Heat up a wok or deep skillet with the cooking oil and ginger.
• Once the ginger is frying well and has flavored the oil (you can just smell a little bit cooled down in a spoon), put in the pork.Keep breaking the pork up until it is all browned with no big chunks. Add more rice wine while it's cooking.
• Taste it. Add more of whatever is missing. Repeat until perfect.
