Zutaten

2 pound pork belly (cut into 1” thick strips about 3 inches long)

1 cup shiitake mushrooms (diced)

1 tablespoon rock sugar or granulated sugar (13g)

¼ cup Shaoxing wine

¼ cup soy sauce (low sodium)

2 tablespoons dark soy sauce (30ml)

½ teaspoon white pepper (2g)

5 cloves garlic (chopped)

Anweisungen

Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a wok or heavy bottomed pot over medium high heat. Add the pork belly strips and fry until browned. Add the garlic and sugar to the pork and sauté until the sugar has melted.

Add soy sauce, dark soy sauce, Shaoxing wine, five spice powder, white pepper, shiitake mushrooms, fried shallots, and peeled hard boiled eggs if using. Add water until the meat is fully covered and bring to a boil.

Once the liquid comes to a boil, partially cover with a lid and turn the heat to low. Simmer for 1 hour or until the pork is fork tender. The liquid should be caramelized and sticky, but if there is excess liquid, turn the heat up to high and let the sauce further reduce, stirring occasionally to prevent burning.

Serve with fresh rice, egg, and garnish with cilantro. Enjoy!
