Important Notes
⚠️ When boiling the pork, be sure to turn off the heat after bringing the water to a boil. Cooking slowly with residual heat prevents the meat from becoming tough and keeps it moist and tender.
⚠️ Do not soak the cooked pork in water; let it cool naturally on a tray. Soaking in water drains the flavor and makes it watery.
💡 Searing the eggplant while letting it absorb the sesame oil adds richness and makes it juicy.
