  4. Finely slice the green onion, ginger, and garlic.
  5. Coat a frying pan with oil, add 1 tbsp+ of White Sesame Oil, and stir-fry 100g of Ground Pork.
  6. Once the ground pork is crumbly, add 1 tsp of Doubanjiang and stir-fry in the oil to release its aroma.
  7. When the aroma of doubanjiang is fragrant, add the sliced green onion, ginger, and garlic and stir-fry over medium heat.
  8. Add 2 tbsp of Shaoxing Wine and 1 tbsp of Soy Sauce, mix everything, and let the aroma coat the pork.
