Cuisine: chinese · Time: 50 minutes · Servings: 4

## Ingredients

- 450 g Roasted Pork ((Siu yuk))
- 2  Chinese preserved sausage
- 160 g Tofu puffs ((Deep fried tofu))
- 6  Shiitake mushrooms ((fresh or dried))
- 200 g Lettuce
- 1 bulb		 Garlic (, peeled whole cloves)
- 1  Small onion
- 6 slices Ginger
- 2 stalks	 Green onions
- 2 tbsp Oyster sauce
- 1 tbsp Light soy sauce
- 1 tbsp Dark soy sauce
- 1 tsp Sugar
- 1 tbsp Cornstarch
- 2 tbsp Water
- 2 tbsp Shaoxing wine
- 2 c Water
- 1 L Oil
- 2 tbsp Oil

## Steps

1. On night before, soak 6 shiitake mushrooms if using dried ones
2. Peel garlic cloves
3. Heat 1L oil to 150˚C or 300˚F  Instead of deep-frying the garlic and roasted pork, you can also choose to pan-fry
4. Deep-fry garlic until golden.  Remove from oil and set aside
5. Heat oil to 190˚C or 375˚F.  Add roasted pork.  Deep fry for 2 minutes or until golden.  Remove from oil and set aside
6. Slice one small onion; prepare 6 slices ginger; slice shiitake mushrooms in half (using a slanted cut will help even out the thickness); slice preserved sausages; and cut green onions to 5cm pieces.  Set aside
7. In a pot, using medium-high heat, add 2 tbsp oil, add ginger and fry until golden I usually use a ceramic coated pot for this process and I use a clay pot at the end because I want to add lettuce on the bottom of the clay pot.
8. Add onions and preserved sausages.  Fry for 1 minute
9. Add shiitake mushrooms.  Fry for 1 minute
10. Add roasted pork, fried garlic, tofu puffs and 2 tbsp Shaoxing wine.  Stir-fry for 1 minute
11. Turn heat to medium and add 2 tbsp oyster sauce, 1 tbsp light soy sauce, 1 tbsp dark soy sauce, 1 tsp sugar and the white parts of the green onions.  Turn heat back up to high.  Stir-fry 1 minute
12. Add 2 cups water or until the water level covers 70% of the ingredients.  Bring to a boil  Some recipes call for enough water to cover all the ingredients, but that would make it too soupy
13. Reduce heat to low.  Cover with lid.  Cook for 30 minutes.  Stir after 15 minutes
14. In a small bowl, prepare 1 tbsp cornstarch and 2 tbsp water.  Mix well and set aside
15. Five minutes before the garlic, roasted pork and tofu are done, mix slurry and pour the slurry slowly into the pot.  Stir gently.  Turn off heat after sauce has thickened. Add green onions.  If the sauce is not thick enough, make more slurry and add it in
16. Add 1 tbsp oil into a clay pot (a second pot), heat at medium-high heat.  Add lettuce and stir-fry until slightly softened.  Takes approx. 30 seconds  You may also use the same pot by shifting the contents to one side, add the lettuce and shift the contents onto the lettuce so that the lettuce is on the bottom
17. Pour the garlic roasted pork and tofu on top of the lettuce, do not stir.  Cover with lid.  Turn off heat and let it sit for 5 minutes
18. Serve
