Hawaiian Style Braised Pork

You can use any cut of pork you desire. I like pork shoulder because it has more flavor. This cooks slowly and does not require a lot of attention,it's easy to make, and even better if you prepare this a day ahead, the flavors really intensify, just rewarm over low heat. Because of the soy sauce, add the salt in at the end of cooking. If possible make this with only green onions. Serve this with rice, this is a wonderful pork dish!!

Steps

Season the pork with salt , pepper and garlic powder.
Heat oil in a large heavy pot over medium-high heat.
Add in about 1 / 3 of the pork and saute until brown transfer to a bowl and continue with the remaining pork.
Add in the fresh garlic , green onions and ginger.
Saute for 1 minute.
Return the pork to the pot along with any juices from the bowl or plate.
Add in 1-1 / 2 cups broth , soy sauce , brown sugar , crushed red pepper flakes and five-spice powder.
Bring to a boil.
Reduce heat to medium-low.
Cover and simmer until the pork is very tender.
Stir / whisk in remaining broth and cornstarch together in a small cup.
Mix into simmering sauce.
Simmer until the gravy thickens , stirring occasionally.
Season with salt and pepper.
