How to cook deliciously - Fragrant Cinnamon Pork

1. Stage

In a 4-quart casserole or a Dutch oven, heat oil for 30 seconds over high heat until very hot. Add half the pork and cook until browned, turning once. Transfer to a plate with a slotted spoon. Repeat with remaining pork.

Keep the oil in the pan hot, and add scallions, garlic, ginger, chile paste, cinnamon sticks, and anise; stir-fry until fragrant, about 15 seconds. Add 4 cups water, soy sauce, rice wine, and sugar; reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes.
