Rou Jia Mo (Chinese Pork Flatbread Sandwich)

Ingredients

• •2 lb pork shoulder, cut into chunks
• •1/3 cup soy sauce
• •2 tbsp brown sugar
• •2 tbsp fresh ginger, sliced
• •4 cloves garlic, smashed
• •2 whole star anise
• •1 cinnamon stick
• •3 cups water
• •4 green onions
• •3 cups all-purpose flour
• •1 tsp instant yeast
• •1 1/4 cups warm water for dough
• •1 tsp salt

Directions

1. 1Simmer pork, soy sauce, brown sugar, ginger, garlic, star anise, cinnamon, water, and green onions for 90 minutes.
2. 2Meanwhile, mix flour, yeast, salt, and warm water into a smooth dough and rest for 45 minutes.
3. 3Divide the dough into six rounds and roll each into a small flatbread.
4. 4Cook the flatbreads in a dry skillet for 3–4 minutes per side until browned.
5. 5Chop the tender pork finely and moisten it with a little reduced braising liquid.
6. 6Split each flatbread and pack generously with the chopped pork.

💡 Reduce a little braising liquid before mixing it into the pork; watery filling soaks through the flatbread before the sandwich is eaten.
