Method

Put the pork into a slow cooker with cinnamon, star anise, five spice, plums, wine, orange juice and stock pot.
Cook on low for 6 hrs/high for 3 hrs. Alternatively, put the ingredients into a casserole with a scrunched up piece of wet greaseproof paper inside the lid and cook in the oven on its lowest setting for 4-6 hrs.
Skim off the fat, add the Chinese greens so the stalks are immersed and allow to steam for 2-3 mins. Serve with rice or boiled potatoes.
