Although, I have to admit that I do prefer the shrimp version better, but the chicken is just as good. If you haven’t realized by now that our house love chicken, then this should seal it. Yes, we love chicken and there was even a time where we only had chicken. You name it we ate. Chicken soup, chicken dumpling, chicken noodle, fried chicken, broil chicken, stir fried chicken etc….And then there was a long pause from chicken, because we feel that we’re actually turning into a chicken from eating too much chicken.

I can attest to you that this is the recipe for you. Beside from the cleaning and cutting the vegetable part, which is actually the time consuming part, the rest is a breeze. Well at least it is for me. You see, I don’t have a lot of patient. Therefore, I like to every thing fast. And things as vegetable washing and cutting sort of slow me down. When I do feel too drain and too busy, sometime I make my son do all this tedious work for me, so that I can just go and do the major part. It like having an assistant, the only thing is that he learning in the process.

Five Spice Pork Belly With Eggs

Ok I know that every family have their own version of this dish regardless if you’re Chinese, Cambodian, Thai, Vietnamese or Lao. And I also noticed that different culture make it almost the same way but just sweeter or darker. Naturally this would happen, due to the fact that everyone have different taste bud and the recipe that is being past down from generations had to change a little in every culture.

I like mine not too sweet but more salty and lots of black pepper. I consider my taste bud pretty bold, therefore my flavor is very intense. The combination of sweet and salty have to compliment each other and be able to match one another. Oh, and we love eggs so if you haven’t noticed I put a lot of eggs. And I like it brown. Usually it gets that way the next day when it have time to absorb the flavor and coloring. Thus it also known as brown eggs that often sell on the street cart in most part of Asia.
As for the soup, make sure it not too runny or too thick. It has to be the right consistency for the full flavor goodness.

4 Pieces of pork bellies cut into 2 inches pieces
2 Inches ginger slice diagonally
3 Star anises
1 Tsp of five spice powder
2 Tbsp of oyster sauce
½ Cup of soy sauce or to taste

¼ Cup brown or malt sugar
1 Tbsp of minced garlic
1 Tbsp of vegetable oil
3 + Tbsp of black pepper
12 + Eggs
Water

* Boil the egg in advance and let it cool before peeling it.

Methods:

1. In a hot pot add the oil and bring to hot.
2. Add the minced garlic until golden and aroma. Then add the ginger.
3. Add the soy sauce, oyster sauce, sugar with 1 cup of water and bring it to thicken.
4. Add the sliced pork pieces and dark soy sauce and stir for 6 to 7 minutes or until it is brown and sauce thicken some more.
5. Add some more water to cover the pork with the rest of the ingredients such as the star anises, five spice powders, black pepper and egg.
6. Cover slightly and cook for at least 35 minutes or until it slightly tender and the juice thicken. Depending how tender you like it. Cook to preference.

I accidentally discover this one day years ago. Although I like the concept of chicharrone with spicy sauce sandwich, still the taste was lacking something. Not until a couple of years ago, in a desperate attempted to make something out of my pantry did I came up with this recipe. I know that there are many kind of chicharrone sandwich recipes out there and I haven’t tried it all yet. This is something that I made up to my taste bud and it a very delicious one indeed. I only make upon request from my sons whom love it with a passion. There is something with the spiciness and sweet combination of the sauce and the chewy texture that makes it so addicting. And with all the health conscious food lately, this may not be good for you, but it sure does good.

1 Big bag of Mexican chicharrone (pork cracking)
1 Small can of chipotle chilies

3. Bring it back to the pot and add the rest of the ingredients in and bring to boil.
4. Lower the heat to medium and add the chicharrone and stir until all is fully absorbed by the chicharrone. Doing this process make it tender and flavorful. About 10 minutes process.
