Dragon and Lily Pork

The original of this recipe I found in a Chinese cookbook by Virginia Lee. It used ground pork but I prefer to use minced pork for a firmer texture. I never could find Szechwan peppers until recently so I always used black pepper so feel free to substitute. The original did not use plum jelly, I added that and liked the contrast between the hot chili and the sweet plum. It shouldn't be too sweet so adjust the plum jelly according to your taste, but it should be fiery hot. If it is too hot just serve it over more rice to dilute the heat.
