Prep the Ingredients
Peel the chayote and cut into large chunks and set aside. Place pork in a pot with spring onion, ginger, and enough water to fully cover. Bring to a boil over high heat. Skim off any scum. Remove the pork and rinse thoroughly under cold water. Rinse all dried herbs thoroughly. Soak the dried tangerine peel in water for at least 10 minutes, then gently scrape off the white pith to prevent bitterness.
