Braised Pork Belly

Ingredients:

1 lb Pork Belly
1 bulb of Garlic
3 slices of Ginger
2 whole Star Anise
2 tbsp Cane Sugar
1 tsp whole Peppercorns
4 whole Dried Red Chillies (or more if you prefer a spicier taste)
1/2 cup of Soy Sauce (according to taste)
2 tbsp of Dark Soy Sauce
2 tbsp Chinese Shao Xing Cooking Wine
White Pepper (to taste)
3 cups of Water
2 Hard Boiled Eggs (or more according to preference)


Instructions:

First pan sear the pork belly for 10 minutes (make sure it's already dry, pat with kitchen towel to remove excess water from washing) Add in the ginger and garlic into the pan and stir fry for another 1 minute before adding in the remaining of all ingredients. Braise for around 2-3 hours or more until the pork belly becomes tender and the eggs have absorbed the sauce and turns dark brown in color. Continue to braise until the liquid is reduced to a thicker consistency.
