Notes
Cloud ear mushrooms, lily buds, Shao-Hsing wine and oyster sauce are available at Asian markets.
Suggested Pairing
The mildness of pork allows it to pair with either substantial whites or light reds, but the soy, ginger and oyster sauce in this recipe suggest a full-bodied white with enough ripe, fruity flavors to balance the savory elements of the dish. The hints of melon and vanilla in an oak-aged California Chardonnay would be ideal.
