total time

Preparation:

  1. Marinate pork with seasoning for 1-2 hrs in a pot. Then simmer pork over low heat till sauce’s thick and glazed with oil, abt 10 mins.
  2. Add water and continue to simmer till pork’s just tender, abt 15 mins. Add more water if gravy has dried up.
  3. Add hardboiled eggs (and tau-pok), let it simmer for a further 2-3 mins and serve immediately.

We had some with steamed rice, steamed vegetables and some chopped red chillies. Leftovers can be frozen and to be warmed up on another day. I had some leftover for lunch on the next day – I would say that it’s even yummier if eaten a day later.. 🙂
