Step-by-Step Instructions

Heat the vegetable oil in a wok or large skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds, or until the garlic becomes fragrant and just begins to turn golden at the edges.

Add the ground pork to the wok and stir-fry until thoroughly browned and cooked through, which should take about 1 to 2 minutes.

Increase the heat to high and stir in the sliced shallots. Cook for another 1 to 2 minutes until the shallots soften and start to become translucent.

Stir in the Shaoxing wine, hoisin sauce, and spicy bean paste. Continue to cook for 30 seconds to allow the flavors to meld.

Pour in the chicken stock, ground white pepper, sugar, and sesame oil. Bring the liquid to a gentle simmer.
