  Prepare the Pork

  After purchasing, you will use a knife to scrape off the hair from the pig ears and pork belly, then rub them with coarse salt and lemon to remove the fishy smell, and rinse several times with water until clean.

  You then place a pot of water on the stove and bring it to a boil. When the water is boiling, add a few slices of ginger, 4 stalks of green onions, and 2 tablespoons of vinegar. Next, blanch the pork in the pot for 1 – 2 minutes, then remove the meat and let it drain.

  Cook the braised pork

  You put the pig’s ears and the briefly blanched pork belly into a deep pan and use scissors to cut through the thick parts of the meat so that it absorbs the flavor evenly when cooked.

  Add to the pan the ingredients including: 1 full tablespoon of minced garlic, 1/2 tablespoon of minced onion, 4 tablespoons of soy sauce, 1.5 tablespoons of oyster sauce, 30g of rock sugar, 1 tablespoon of annatto oil, 1/2 teaspoon of ground pepper, 1/4 teaspoon of five-spice powder, 1 tablespoon of curry powder, and the ingredients you just roasted.

  Next, you pour 600ml of coconut water into the pan and turn on the stove to cook over medium heat. While cooking, you turn the meat over regularly to let it absorb the flavor.

  Cook until the water reduces to 1/3, then lower the heat, add 1.5 teaspoons of seasoning, and remove the star anise and cinnamon. Continue to cook and turn the meat until the water in the pan reduces to almost the bottom, then turn off the heat.
