Ingredients

  • 1 kilo pork belly, shoulder, or loin
  • 2 tsp five spice powder
  • ½ cup soy sauce
  • cup brown sugar
  • 1 tsp garlic minced
  • 1 pc bay leaf
  • 1 pc star anise
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • 2 cups water
  • 2 medium-sized potatoes (optional)

Instructions

  • Combine the soy sauce, five spice powder, garlic, and salt. Then mix well.
  • Marinate the pork in the combined mixture for at least 1 hour.
  • Heat a cooking pot, then put in the pork along with the marinade and water. Then let it boil.
  • Add bay leaf and star anise.
  • Add brown sugar and stir to distribute evenly.
  • Simmer for about 40 minutes, flipping the meat after 20 minutes or so to tenderize the other side.
  • If the sauce dries and pork isn't done yet, add more water. Boil over low fire until sauce thickens.
  • Turn off the heat and remove the meat from the cooking pot.
  • Allow the meat to rest for about 10 minutes, then slice.
  • Transfer to a serving plate and top with the thick sauce.
  • Serve with hot rice.
