Ingredients

Pork Belly and Eggs:

  • 8 oz pork belly
  • 2 eggs
  • ½ onion finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • ½ inch piece ginger sliced

Braising Sauce:

Instructions

  • Boil eggs for 7 minutes. Transfer to ice water and soak for 2 minutes, then gently crack the shells and let them sit for another 5 minutes to loosen the shell. Peel and set aside.
  • Slice pork belly into thin strips. Finely chop onion, mince garlic, and slice ginger.
  • In a pan, sauté onions and garlic for 2 minutes. Remove and set aside.
  • Add pork belly and ginger to the same pan with vinegar. Sear until browned, about 3 minutes.
  • Add dark soy sauce, light soy sauce, sugar, and five-spice powder. Stir and cook until the mixture starts to boil.
  • Add back the onions and garlic to the pan, pour in water, and bring to a boil. Add eggs, cover, and simmer on low heat for 1 hour.
  • Uncover and cook on high heat until the sauce reduces and becomes glossy.
  • Slice the eggs and serve with pork belly over rice. Garnish with scallions, if desired.
