1. Start by cutting your pork belly into 3/4-inch thick pieces.
2. Bring a pot of water to a boil. Blanch the pork belly pieces for a couple minutes. This gets rid of impurities and starts the cooking process. Take the pork out of the pot, rinse, and set aside.
3. Over low heat, add the oil and sugar to your wok. Melt the sugar slightly and add the pork. Raise the heat to medium and cook until the pork is lightly browned.
4. Turn the heat back down to low and add shaoxing cooking wine, regular soy sauce, dark soy sauce, and water.

1. Soak the mei gan cai in cold water for 30 minutes. Pull the dried vegetables out into a colander, and drain any sandy water. Rinse the bowl clean, and soak the mei gan cai once again, washing a couple more times until there is no sand or grit at the bottom of the bowl. Once clean, squeeze out as much water as possible from the reconstituted vegetables, and set aside. (Tip: with every wash, let the vegetables sit in the bowl of water undisturbed for 5 minutes, so any grit has a chance to settle to the bottom.)
2. Remove any stray bristles from the pork skin, and cut the pork belly into 1” thick pieces. Add them to a pot with enough water to cover the pork belly. Bring to a boil, and boil for 1 minute. Remove from the heat, rinse, drain, and set the pork aside. This step removes impurities, ensuring you get a clean flavor in the final dish.
3. Over low heat, add the oil and sugar to your wok. Heat until the sugar melts into an amber liquid. Add the star anise, ginger, and the pork belly. Raise the heat to medium, and cook until the pork is lightly browned. Add the mei gan cai, and stir-fry everything together for 1 minute.
4. Turn the heat down to low while you add the Shaoxing wine, light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, and water. Make a point to melt any sugar sticking to your spatula into the sauce. Bring the liquid to a boil, cover, and turn the heat down to medium low.
