Lu rou fan — braised pork rice

Let’s make it.

1. Brown pork in a heavy saucepan over medium heat, stirring frequently. Spoon off excess rendered fat if desired.
2. Add garlic and shallots; stir 1 minute. Add soy sauce, wine, sugar, star anise and water.
3. Cover and simmer gently 60–75 minutes until the pork is very tender. Add water if needed; reduce uncovered to a spoonable sauce. Remove star anise.
4. Blanch bok choy until tender. Serve braised pork and greens over hot rice.
