Xiao Long Bao Jam
This was a masterpiece. So good. I've always loved the taste of the brothy, meaty filling of xiao long bao with the sharp, sweet tang of the ginger and black vinegar you eat it with. I thought how good it would be to enjoy that on bread. Now you can!

How to Cook
Step 1
Finely dice the onion and cut the pork into cubes.
Step 2
Grate the garlic and the ginger and rub it all over the pork cubes.
Step 3
In an oven-proof pot with a lid, soften the onions in about 4 tbsp of peanut oil on a low heat for 5 minutes.
Step 4
Add the pork and still on a low heat, stir gently for 2 mins until the surface begins to go opaque.
Step 5
Add the soy sauce, shaoxing, black vinegar and sesame oil. Mix well and cover.
Step 6
Put into a preheated 150C oven for 1.5 hours.
Step 7
After 1.5 hours the meat will be super soft and falling apart. It should basically fall apart when you prod it with a spoon. If it doesn't, return it to the oven for another 30 mins.
Step 8
You can shred the meat with a fork but I find it easier to use the plastic blade attachment on my food processor to break up the meat.
Step 9
Mmmm chinesey, porky goodness.
Step 10
Finely julienne some ginger and soak in a little black vinegar for 1~2 mins. Spread the jam on bread and sprinkle the ginger liberally on top. Eat with hands, not chopsticks.
