Ingredients
-
2 pounds pork belly, trimmed
-
2 tablespoons white sugar
-
5 shallots, sliced
-
3 cloves garlic, chopped
-
3 tablespoons fish sauce
-
ground black pepper to taste
-
13 fluid ounces coconut water
-
6 hard-boiled eggs, peeled
Directions
-
Slice pork belly into 1-inch pieces layered with skin, fat, and meat.
-
Heat sugar in a large wok or pot over medium heat until it melts and caramelizes into a light brown syrup, about 5 minutes. Add pork and increase the heat to high. Cook and stir to render some of the pork fat, 3 to 5 minutes.
-
Stir shallots and garlic into the wok. Add fish sauce and black pepper; stir until pork is evenly coated. Pour in coconut water and bring to a boil. Add hard-boiled eggs and reduce the heat to low. Cover and simmer, checking occasionally and adding a little water if the liquid evaporates too much, until pork is tender, about 1 hour.
-
Remove from the heat and let stand for about 10 minutes. Skim fat from the surface of the dish.
