Method (preview)

1. 1

   Fresh ham or a fairly fat cut of pork is traditionally used for this recipe, but boneless lean pork loin makes a delicious and leaner substitute.

2. 2

   For a nontraditional presentation, serve the pork with grilled asparagus spears, Asian eggplant and/or zucchini slices.

3. 3

   Or, arrange the slices on a bed of watercress with strips of roasted pepper and serve as a first course salad.

4. 4

   Bring the water to a boil in a large pot, then add the pork, green onions, ginger, garlic and wine.

5. 5

   Bring to a boil again.

6. 6

   Skim off the scum that rises to surface.

7. 7

   Cover, reduce heat low and simmer for 45 minutes.

8. 8

   When the meat is done, half fill a large pan with cold water and ice cubes.

9. 9

   Remove the meat from the pot and immediately plunge it into the ice water; let sit for 20 minutes to firm up the meat and juices.

10. 10

    Remove pork, pat dry, cover and refrigerate until thoroughly chilled, at least 2 to 3 hours, or overnight.

11. 11

    To serve: Cut the meat crosswise into paper-thin slices (no thicker than 1/8 inch) and arrange in a circular pattern on a plate.

12. 12

    Serve sauce on the side or drizzle it over the pork.

13. 13

    Garnish with fresh coriander eaves.
