Cover the pan with a lid. Boil on high heat, then reduce to low heat and simmer for 30 minutes. Add rock sugar at this point and continue to simmer for another 20 minutes. Turn the heat to high to reduce the sauce. ㊙️ Before it's fully reduced and almost ready to be served, add Zhenjiang vinegar, cover with the lid, and simmer for another 2–5 minutes. This is the secret to ultimate deliciousness‼️ (Do not overly reduce the sauce; it should perfectly coat the pork chunks.)
