Stewed Pork with Fried Tofu

Ingredients:
1 pound of pork (the chunks of pork with the fat and skin, makes the dish juicier)
1 clove of garlic
5 slices of fresh ginger (1/4 inch thick)
1/2 cup of deep fried bean curd (mini deep fried tofu)


Seasoning:
1 1/2 cups of cooking rice wine
1 cup of water
3 tbs of soy sauce
2 tbs of sugar


1. Cut the pork into small bite sized pieces.
2. Peel the skin off the garlic.
3. Slice the garlic into 1/4 inch slices. 
4. Bring a pot of water to boil and throw in the pork pieces.  When the meat turns white, drain and set aside. (please note the pork is not fully cooked at this stage)
5. In a separate pot combine the 1 1/2 cups of cooking rice wine, 1 cup of water, 3 tbs of soy sauce, 2 tbs of sugar, 1 clove of garlic, 1/4 cup of ginger slices, 1/2 cup of deep fried bean curd and the chunks of pork, bring to a boil. (I like to use a clay pot because I feel like it brings out the flavors more, but any pot will work)
6. Cover the pot and let it simmer for 3 hours, stir occasionally and add a little bit of rice wine if the stock dries up, you can also use water if you don't have anymore rice wine. (my first batch I used all the rice wine I had left (1 1/2 cups), so I had to use water to keep the stock from drying up)
7. Serve and Enjoy! You can also add some cilantro for extra flavoring (I like to eat it with rice and let the rice soak up the juices...yumm)
