Ingredients

4

4 servings

  • 1 ½ pounds pork belly, cut into bite-size pieces
  • ¼ cup vegetable oil
  • 3 tablespoons brown sugar
  • ¼ cup dark soy sauce
  • ¼ cup Shaoxing rice wine
  • ¼ cup light soy sauce
  • 4 scallions, halved
  • 4 slices fresh ginger
  • 4 star anise pods
  • water to cover
  • ½ (8 ounce) package vegetarian chicken substitute, diced (Optional)
  • 6 hard-boiled eggs, peeled (Optional)

Instructions

  • Fill a large pot with water and bring to a boil. Add pork belly; cook until starting to soften, about 5 minutes. Drain.
  • Heat vegetable oil and brown sugar in a wok or large skillet over medium heat until sugar is melted. Add pork; cook until browned on all sides, about 2 minutes. Add dark soy sauce; cook and stir until flavors combine, about 5 minutes.
  • Transfer pork mixture to a slow cooker. Add rice wine, light soy sauce, scallions, ginger, and star anise. Pour in enough water to just cover the pork.
  • Cook on Low until pork is tender, about 6 hours. Add diced chicken substitute, hard-boiled eggs, and more water to cover.
  • Cook on Low until eggs absorb cooking liquid, rotating halfway through, about 1 hour more.
