    Wash and blanch pork for 10 minutes. Rub meat with dark soya sauce.
    Deep fry in moderate heat till brown and skin turns crispy Slice into 1/2\" thick pieces (thicker or thinner up to you).
    Mix pork with minced garlic, sugar, 5 spice powder, salt, soya sauce, vinegar Place in bowl with skin facing downwards Add warm/hot water till 1/2\" before the pork is covered.
    Steam for 20 minutes (until pork is cooked and tender, but not falling apart). Remove from heat and cool- leave overnight in fridge Scoop out excess fat and re-steam again before serving
    Turn it upside down and serve-- something like serving pineapple upside down cake? Serve with chinese parsley, lettuce and steam buns.
