    Put the pork into cold water, add cooking wine and ginger slices; the meat will become more fragrant and tender when cooked this way. Bring the water to a boil, skim off the foam, then reduce to low heat (keeping it slightly simmering) and cook until a chopstick can easily go through the whole piece of meat and no blood seeps out when the chopstick is removed. At this point, the meat is done.
