Critical Success Points

  • Slice pork neck yourself for best texture.
  • Stir-fry pork with leek, soy sauce, and cooking wine to remove odor and build flavor.
  • Simmer stew for at least 15 minutes for potatoes to cook through and flavors to meld.

Safety Warnings

  • Use caution when slicing raw pork; keep knife sharp and fingers clear.
  • Hot oil may splatter when stir-frying; use a long spoon and avoid overcrowding.
  • Ensure pork is cooked through before serving.
