Ingredients
2 tbsp soy sauce
3 tbsp dark soy sauce
6 pieces of dry chili
1/2 cup rice cooking wine
1 tsp White pepper powder
4 sliced gingers
4 cloves garlic
4 Star anise
2 tbsp brown sugar
3 cups water or stock
2 pre-made spice bags (Asian markets sell pre-made packages of spice bags for use on marinaded food)
1 lb. skin-on pork belly (sometimes you can find small cuts of about 1cm pork belly packs in the Asian market)
1 pack of Superior Natural Seasoned Pressed Tofu (each pressed tofu cut a half)
1/2 cup chunk of daikon
1/2 cup chunk of carrots
4 individual green onions (Tie two green onions up like a knot)
3 Boiled & peeled eggs
6 Boiled & peeled quail eggs
Instructions
Use the pork belly’s cubed fat part to stir fry in a medium frying pan over medium heat. Add sliced ginger, and chopped garlic then stir and cook until aromatic for about 1 minute. Keep stirring and cook until pork belly turns white for about 4 minutes.
Add brown sugar, and soy sauce and continue to stir and cook for about 5 minutes until the pork belly turns golden brown on both sides then set aside.
Transfer the pork to a medium stew pot with the lid. Pour the rice-cooking wine, dark soy sauce, white pepper powder, star anise, green onion, dry chili, spice bag, and water into the pot. Cover it and bring it to a boil before reducing the heat to low for about an hour.
After an hour, add eggs, pressed tofu, quail eggs, daikon, and carrots to the pot, cover it, and cook for another half hour.
Serve with a bowl of white rice and enjoy.
