Steps

1

Cut the pork belly block into appropriate sizes. I divided it into 8 pieces.
2

After cutting the pork belly, coat it with potato starch. This starch will thicken the sauce when simmered.
3

Add vegetable oil to a frying pan and sear only the surface. A lot of smoke will be produced, so make sure to turn on the exhaust fan.
4

Put all the seasonings in a pot, then add the seared pork belly and boiled eggs.
5

Cover with a drop lid made of aluminum foil, then cover the pot with a lid.
6

Simmer on low heat for 1 hour. Note: If you open the lid while simmering, the sauce may evaporate and burn.
7

Turn off the heat and let it cool in the pot.
8

Before serving, heat it lightly. Serve and garnish with green onions if desired.
