How to Choose Ingredients
How to buy good pork belly:
- When buying meat, choose pieces that have a balanced amount of lean and fat, not too much lean or too much fat. Balanced meat will not be too greasy or dry after cooking, providing a pleasant eating experience.
- Pork belly is characterized by high elasticity; when you gently press the meat with your hand, it should feel firm, and when you remove your hand, the meat quickly returns to its original shape, indicating quality meat.
- Pay attention to the skin of the meat; good pork will have smooth skin, not too dry or too greasy.
- When buying, look for meat with a bright red color, which indicates fresh pork. Avoid meat with unusual colors, pale or dark red, or wet surfaces.
- Avoid buying meat with an unusual unpleasant odor or bleach smell. The meat may have been washed or soaked in chemicals.

Prepare Ingredients
Buy pork and wash it thoroughly, then cut it into large bite-sized pieces. Next, blanch the meat in a pot of hot water to reduce the odor and remove harmful impurities, blanching until the water boils vigorously, then remove and drain.
Peel the shallots and garlic, and chop them finely.
-
Marinate the Meat
Marinate the meat with the chopped shallots, chopped garlic, 1 teaspoon of pepper, 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, and 1 tablespoon of seasoning powder. Let the meat marinate for about 30 – 40 minutes for the flavors to penetrate well.
-
Boil the Duck Eggs
Put a pot of water on the stove and add the duck eggs to boil. Boil until the water is vigorously boiling, then turn off the heat. Remove the eggs and place them in a bowl of ice water and proceed to peel them.
Tip for Easy Egg Peeling: You can add one of the following ingredients to the boiling egg pot: a slice of lemon, vinegar, 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda, or a little olive oil to make the eggs easier to peel!
-
Braised Meat
Put all the meat and marinade into the pot, braise over medium heat until the water starts to simmer, then pour the sarsaparilla water in.
Stir the meat evenly so that it absorbs the seasoning. When you see the water in the pot boiling, add the duck eggs and add a little water so that it covers 2/3 of the pot of meat. Braise for about 30 – 40 more minutes until the meat is tender, then turn off the heat.
Note: When braising, do not cover the pot so that the meat broth remains clear and beautiful!
