Recipe for Dongpo Chicken

Step 1
Prepare the ingredients: cut the pork belly/pork shoulder into large pieces, blanch with three slices of ginger; rinse the fresh half chicken to remove blood stains, peel two cloves of garlic, cut spring onion into sections, and slice a few pieces of ginger for later use.
Step 2
Prepare the seasoning while blanching: 2 tbsp sugar, 1 tbsp black bean sauce/pork rib sauce, 1 tbsp oyster sauce, 1 tbsp honey, 5 tbsp light soy sauce, 500g Shaoxing wine.
Step 3
Simple stir-fry: Heat a little oil in a pan, brown the meat, then remove it. Saute the remaining oil with spring onion, ginger, and garlic until fragrant.
Step 4
Using a rice cooker: Place the sauteed spring onion, ginger, garlic, the remaining oil in the pan, pork belly/pork shoulder, and half chicken into the rice cooker. Add the prepared seasoning mixture, then cook using the normal rice cooking function.
Step 5
Cook until very tender and soft before serving.
