Ingredients

Steps

1. 1 Choose pork belly with skin in the supermarket or market. The pork belly needs to be at least three layers of fat and lean to be delicious. The pork belly I chose here is slightly fatter.

   

2. 2 Wash and dry the pork belly, then cut into mahjong-sized pieces and set aside.

   

3. 3 Boil a pot of water.

   

4. 4 After the water boils, pour the meat pieces into the water and boil for about 15-20 minutes. Skim off the blood foam from the meat pieces.

   

5. 5 Prepare required ingredients.

   

6. 6 Quickly rinse the soaked meat pieces in cold water and set aside to make the meat pieces firmer.

   

7. 7 Heat the oil in the pan, add the meat and stir-fry until the surface of the meat turns slightly golden.

   

8. 8 Add cooking wine and continue stir-frying.

   

9. 9 Add dark soy sauce and continue stir-frying.

   

10. 10 The color of the meat turns into a nice red sauce.

    

11. 11 Add enough water to just cover the pork belly.

    

12. 12 Add appropriate amount of salt, star anise, ginger slices, yellow rock sugar, etc. and continue cooking.

    

13. 13 After the fire boils, cover the pot and turn to low heat to continue simmering.

    

14. 14 While simmering, cook and peel the eggs and set aside.

    

15. 15 Use a knife to make a few cuts on the eggs to make it easier to add flavor.

    

16. 16 After simmering for about 45-60 minutes, add the eggs.

    

17. 17 Cover the pot and continue simmering.

    

18. 18 Turn to low heat and simmer for about an hour and a half. At this time, open the lid and find that the water in the pork belly has almost disappeared. You can take out the meat pieces and eggs and serve on a plate. Don't waste the remaining juice. Take out all the ingredients and leave the juice to use as a sauce for braised pork rice.

    

19. 19 At this time, the pork belly melts in your mouth and does not feel greasy at all. When you eat it with an egg soaked in juice, it is extremely delicious!
