   Step 1

   Cut the dried tofu into diamond-shaped pieces, wash and remove the stems from the large chilies and cut them into chunks, slice the pork belly, and prepare scallions, ginger, and garlic (I didn't have any scallions at home).

   Heat oil in a wok until it reaches 60% of its smoking point. Add scallions, ginger, and garlic and sauté until fragrant. Add the pork belly and stir-fry until it turns white and is no longer raw. Pour in light soy sauce and cooking wine, and stir-fry the pork belly until it is coated with the sauce.

   Add the large chili peppers to the pot, along with salt and thirteen-spice powder, and continue stir-frying (add a little dark soy sauce if the color is too light).
