1. 1
   Step 1

   Cut the pork belly into cubes and wash it. Boil it in a pot of water for a short time, then drain and rinse.

   五花肉切块洗净，放进水里焯一下，捞出冲洗干净、沥干。

2. 2
   Step 2

   Heat a little oil and fry the spring onion and ginger until fragrant.

   锅里放少许油烧热，放葱段和姜片爆香。

3. 3
   Step 3

   Add the pork and stir-fry until it smells meaty and some fat comes out.

   倒入五花肉，煸炒到飘出肉香、出一点油。

4. 4
   Step 4

   Add the cooking wine, light soy sauce, dark soy sauce and rock sugar. Stir until the pork is coated.

   依次加入料酒、生抽、老抽和冰糖，翻炒到肉块均匀上色。

5. 5
   Step 5

   Add warm water to cover the pork and bring to the boil on high heat. Add enough now, because too little water dries up before the pork is soft.

   加温水没过肉块，大火烧开；水要一次加够，水少了肉还没烂汤就干了。

   Step 6

   Turn to low heat, cover and simmer for about 45 minutes. Stir a few times.

   转小火盖上盖子，慢炖45分钟左右，中间翻动几次。

   Step 7

   Turn the heat to high and cook for 10–15 minutes until the sauce is thick. Stir so it does not stick to the bottom.

   开大火收汁10到15分钟，到汤汁浓稠，注意翻动免得粘锅。
