  1. Place pork belly in a pot of cold water with ginger and Shaoxing wine. Bring to a boil and simmer 25 minutes until just cooked. Remove and cool.

  2. Slice cooled pork belly into 3 mm thin slices. Cut leek and pepper into 4 cm pieces.

    About 5 min

  3. Heat a little oil in a wok over medium heat. Stir-fry pork slices until edges curl and fat renders and caramelises, about 4 minutes.

    About 5 min

  4. Push pork to the side. Add doubanjiang and black beans and fry 1 minute until fragrant and oil turns red.

    About 2 min
