For the chili oil:
1 cup vegetable oil

1 stick cinnamon
3 tablespoons red pepper flakes

For the topping:
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 pound ground pork (75% lean/25% fat)
2 tablespoons minced fresh ginger
2 tablespoons minced scallions
2 tablespoons minced lemongrass
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/3 cup Shaoxing wine or dry sherry
2 tablespoons dark soy sauce
1/2 teaspoon five-spice powder
1/2 cup sui mi ya cai (Chinese preserved vegetables)
2 tablespoons hoisin sauce

For the sauce:
1/3 cup hot low-sodium chicken broth

1/2 teaspoon ground Sichuan peppercorns

To finish:
