2. 2

   While the pork simmers, drain the soaked mushrooms, reserving the soaking liquid. Chop the mushrooms.

   💡 专业技巧: Strain the mushroom liquid through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth to remove any grit.
3. 3

   In a separate pan, sauté the chopped onion in a little oil or rendered pork fat until softened, about 5-7 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
