Editing Braised pork belly

This recipe is a fairly direct application of the 'hong shao' / red-braised chinese cooking technique to vegetarian pork belly, which does in fact [http://vegetarian-plus.com/product/vegatarian-pork-belly-fs/ exist].

== Ingredients ==
* 1-2 packs veggie pork belly
* 1/4 cup brown sugar
* 4 scallions
* 2" ginger, thinly sliced
* 2 garlic cloves
* 1 star anise pod
* 1/4 cup light soy sauce
* 1/4 cup shaoxing wine

== Directions ==
* Find vegetarian pork belly. The stuff we found had a lot of pepper caked on it. If that's what you find, scrape off as much of the pepper as you can while defrosting.
* Dissolve sugar in water over medium-high until a syrup is formed
* Reduce heat, add pork, and coat with the syrup.
* Add aromatics. cook - tossing / stirring for 1 minute
* Add soy sauce and wine and cook for another couple minutes until slightly reduced.
* Pour in enough water to just cover pork and simmer until the sauce has permeated the pork. I didn't notice much additional change after 30min.
* Remove pork. Boil / reduce sauce until thickened (maybe 10-15 min).
* Serve pork and sauce
