  , peeled whole cloves

• 1 tbsp Cornstarch
• 2 tbsp Water
• 2 tbsp Shaoxing wine
• 2 c Water
• 1 L Oil

  for deep-frying garlic and BBQ pork *Optional
• 2 tbsp Oil

Instructions

• 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
