Ingredients

  • 2poundspork belly, trimmed
  • 2tablespoonswhite sugar
  • 5shallots, sliced
  • 3clovesgarlic, chopped
  • 3tablespoonsfish sauce
  • ground black pepper to taste
  • 13fluid ouncescoconut water
  • 6hard-boiled eggs, peeled

  • Directions

    Slice pork belly into 1-inch pieces layered with skin, fat, and meat.

    Heat sugar in a large wok or pot over medium heat until it melts and caramelizes into a light brown syrup, about 5 minutes. Add pork and increase the heat to high. Cook and stir to render some of the pork fat, 3 to 5 minutes.

    Stir shallots and garlic into the wok. Add fish sauce and black pepper; stir until pork is evenly coated. Pour in coconut water and bring to a boil. Add hard-boiled eggs and reduce the heat to low. Cover and simmer, checking occasionally and adding a little water if the liquid evaporates too much, until pork is tender, about 1 hour.

    Remove from the heat and let stand for about 10 minutes. Skim fat from the surface of the dish.
