Ingredients
500g belly or shoulder pork (cubed)
3-4 hard boiled eggs - peeled - one per person
5 tbsp Wing Yip Dark Soya Sauce
100ml water
3-4 cloves bruised garlic cloves
2" root ginger (thick slices)
2 tsp sugar
1 stick cinnamon
2 star anise
2 tbsp peanut or vegetable oil
Cooking Method
Step 1
Heat the oil in a pot and fry bruised garlic cloves and sliced ginger.
Step 2
Then add pork in batches to seal meat.
Step 3
When the meat is sealed, add the dark soya sauce, cinnamon and star anise, cover and cook for 5 minutes. This stage is important to ensure the pork takes on the colour of the soya sauce.
Step 4
Add water, turn down heat, cover and simmer for 20 minutes stirring from time to time.
Step 5
When pork is cooked, add whole hard boiled eggs and sugar (to taste) and cook for a further 5 minutes.
Step 6
The end result should be tender, cooked pork coated in a rich caramelised sauce.
