MMMMM-------------------------SEASONING------------------------------
    1/4 ts Sugar
    1/4 ts MSG
    1/2 ts Dark soy sauce
    1/2 ts Light soy sauce
  1 1/2 ts Shaoxing wine
  1 1/2 ts Hot bean paste
  1 1/2 ts Sweet bean paste
      3 tb Chicken stock

MMMMM-------------------------THICKENING------------------------------
    1/2 ts Corn starch
      2 ts Water

  Wash the pork and place it in boiling water to cover. Simmer for 1-1/2
  hours, until thoroughly softened. Drain and allow to cool, then
  carefully cut into thin slices. Mix seasoning ingredients and set
  aside.

  Heat the wok, add the oil and when very hot deep-fry the pork just
  long enough to lightly color the meat and crisp the fatty parts.
  Remove and drain. Discard most of the oil.

  Reheat the wok and stir-fry the leek, capsicum, chilies and garlic for
  1-1/2 minutes. Add the seasoning and return the pork. Stir on
  moderate heat for 2 minutes longer. Add thickening and stir for a
  further 1/2 minute. Serve.
