  1. 1

    Thinly slice 1/2 onion into quarter-moon pieces and add to a pot with the ★ ingredients. Bring to a boil over medium heat.

  2. 2

    Once the onion softens, add 200-250g pork and simmer over medium-low heat for 5-10 minutes.

  3. 3

    Check the consistency of the sauce. If it tastes too light, add 1 tbsp soy sauce; if too strong, add water a little at a time to adjust.

  4. 4

    Divide 2 servings of warm cooked rice into bowls and pour the pork and cooking liquid over the top. Serve immediately.

Tips

Avoid overcooking the meat so it stays tender. For better flavor absorption, cool the dish completely and then reheat before serving. It can also be stored in the refrigerator or frozen.
