Default An easy Chinese braised pork recipe from Mrs. Ma

Slice boneless pork but into 1/2 inch slices

Marinate in sesame oil, soy sauce, crushed garlic, crushed ginger and water
for 30 minutes to an hour. All measurements to taste.

Brown in pan in hot oil then drain off oil, add 2 cups thinly sliced leaks,
more garlic and ginger, sesame oil, Chinese cooking wine and two teaspoons
sugar. Braise for 20-30 minutes turning once or twice.

Serve with steamed rice.

It makes a very tender and tasty dish. The sugar makes for a thicker sauce.
It really does not come through in the flavor profile. I often omit it and
it still comes out great.
