6. After 5 days to one week, soak the pork in water to remove the saltiness. It usually takes 1-2 hours. Slice off a small bit and fry to check the taste.
7. When the taste is right, pat dry. Leave to rest in the fridge for one day to dry.

9. Combine the tea and sugar. You will use this mixture instead of smoking chips.
10. Place empty tins in a pot. Cover the bottom of the pot with the smoking mixture. Place a metal rack over the tins. Cover with a lid and it is ready for smoking.
