1kg Pork belly
2-3 slices of ginger
5-6 cloves of garlic

1 star anise

1/3 tsp 5 spice powder

Light soya sauce

Eggs
Steps
Boil pork in water for 3 mins and remove from water.
Heat up oil in wok. Add in spices, garlic and ginger and fry till fragrant.
Add in pork and stir fry for 2 mins.
Add in seasonings and stir fry for another min. Add water to cover ingredients.
Stew till meat soft.
*if the cinnamon taste gets too strong, can remove it or it will become bitter.
Eggs: can add in hard boiled egg. If prefer the runny kind, put eggs in room temperature water and boil for 4 mins (small-medium sized eggs). Timing starts when water boils. Pour away water and add room temperature water to cool down. Wait till cool down before peeling. At the same time, take some gravy from braise pork to cool down. When cooled, add in peeled eggs to soak.
P.S. sorry I can't give exact measurements for seasonings as cooked based on tasting.
