Recipe
Ingredients
- Pork shoulder
- Soy sauce
- Sugar
- Garlic
- Sweet vinegared sliced ginger
Instructions
- [Authentic Recipe]
- Slice pork shoulder (or belly) thinly to 2-3mm.
- [Special Marinade] Mix soy sauce, massive sugar (sweet for southern style), grated garlic, five-spice, and a little rice wine.
- Marinate pork for hours to deeply infuse flavor.
- The biggest feature: place pork on a charcoal grill net, turning frequently to avoid burning, grilling fragrantly while dripping fat creates smoke (pan-frying works, but charcoal aroma is life).
- Cover freshly cooked rice with the hot grilled pork.
- Drizzle the rice with a slightly boiled-down marinade sauce, and generously garnish with sweet vinegared thin-sliced ginger (Gari).

Trivia
[For Everyone] Similar to Japanese 'Pork Ginger', but characterized by the overwhelming charcoal aroma and the strong sweetness unique to the south. Hugely popular as bento; walking past the stall makes you line up unconsciously due to the smoke smell.
Eating tips & etiquette
[Unique Eating] Wrap rice with the sweet, savory, charcoal-scented meat, occasionally biting the Gari (sweet vinegared ginger) to refresh the fat in your mouth!
