   Place the chopped pork belly in a pot, add enough water, ginger slices, and cooking wine. Bring to a boil over high heat, skim off the foam, then reduce to medium heat and simmer for five minutes. Remove the pork belly and drain. Heat a pan until dry, add a little oil, and once the oil is hot, add the pork belly pieces and stir-fry until they release oil and change color. Pour off any excess oil, remove the pork belly, and drain off the excess oil.
