Sliced Pork with Garlic Sauce (Suan Ni Bai Rou)

If you love garlic, then this is the dish for you. Vampires will not be visiting you anytime soon after you've partaken of this garlic palooza. I think there are a couple variations of the sauce for this recipe, one of which is classic Taiwanese and reminiscent of what my mom makes- basically just very finely minced garlic with soy sauce, sugar, vinegar and water. Another sauce is spicier with the addition of sliced fresh chilies and/or chili oil (a Szechuan version). Pork belly or pork loin work well for this dish, but pork belly is the best. Btw, both sauces would also work well as dumpling dipping sauces.
