3 1/2 pounds boneless pork shoulder, trimmed |
6 tablespoons lower-sodium soy sauce |
1/2 cup shaoxing wine or dry sherry |

2 tablespoons julienne-cut peeled fresh ginger |
2 (3-inch) cinnamon sticks |

Directions:
1. Heat oil in a Dutch oven over high heat. Add pork to pan; cook 5 minutes or until browned, turning frequently. Remove from pan; set aside.
2. Combine soy sauce and the next 5 ingredients (through star anise) in pan over medium heat, and stir until sugar dissolves. Return pork to pan.
