Pro Tips Before You Start
Do not add extra liquid—the pork releases moisture as it cooks
Use full-fat soup—it creates a richer, more stable sauce
Trim the silver skin—that tough white membrane won’t break down during cooking
Don’t stir after pouring the sauce—let it settle naturally for even flavor
