ISO twice-cooked pork recipe

Looking for a tried-and-true recipe for twice-cooked pork. I searched this board but didn't find anything; I googled and found recipes galore but would love to have one of the fine cooks here vouch for a particular recipe. Thanks!

      Are you referring to something like Carnitas?

      There are many threads in the archives about this; each year after the holidays, folks seem to go nuts for it.

      Try a search on Carnitas here at the Home Cooking board, also Kahlua Pork, and see if that's what you're looking for. If not, describe the techinique and finished product a bit more in your post(I'm not familiar with the term "twice cooked" pork) and see what responses you get. (where you've eaten it, regionality, texture, seasonings, etc.)

      Good luck!

        No, I'm referring to the Chinese dish Hui Guo Rou, AKA twice-cooked pork (the pork is boiled first, then stir-fried). I have the cabbage and the bell peppers, but I could use advice on the best cut of pork and on the sauce, both of which seem to vary in recipes that I found online.

        This reminds me that I really really need a good Chinese cookbook or two to add to the library...
