Directions

  1. Mix rice wine, soy sauce paste, soy sauce, sugar, and white pepper together in a bowl.

  2. Mix ground pork with brine from cucumbers together in a bowl.

  3. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add shallots, cook and stir until golden brown, about 5 minutes. Add pork mixture, cook and stir until no longer pink, 3 to 4 minutes. Push pork and shallots to the sides of the skillet, making a space in the center. Add garlic, ginger, and star anise, stir.

  4. Pour water into the skillet, bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium low, simmer until sauce reduces to about 1 cup. Stir in chopped cucumbers. Stir in rice wine mixture, cook until flavors combine, 4 to 6 minutes.
