Cut pork in 2-inch cubes. Put pork and 1 cup water in an earthenware or
any other very heavy pot. Bring water to boil. Add sherry, soy sauce,
ginger, and scallion. Cover pot with a tight fitting lid. Simmer over
very low heat 2 hours. Add sugar. Bring to high heat. Baste until gravy
coats the meat. Serve with rice and/or steamed veggies.

The gravy is not quite the same consistency but tastes just as good.
