Ingredients
    Seasoning:
    1 tablespoon Chinese rice wine
    1 tablespoon soy sauce paste
    1 tablespoon soy sauce
    1 teaspoon white sugar
    3 dashes ground white pepper
    1/2 pound ground pork
    1/3 cup Taiwanese pickled cucumbers with brine, chopped
    1 tablespoon vegetable oil
    2 small shallots, thinly sliced
    2 cloves garlic, minced
    1 teaspoon minced fresh ginger
    1/4 teaspoon ground star anise

Preparation
    Mix rice wine, soy sauce paste, soy sauce, sugar, and white pepper together in a bowl.
    Mix ground pork with brine from cucumbers together in a bowl.
    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.
    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.
    Top pork mixture with sesame oil and green onions.
