Coconut Pork Belly Stew (& The Lazy Girl'S Mushroom Soup)

1. 1

   Brown the sugar till it becomes caramel. Careful, this sucker burns like that (finger snap)! *You can also saute the pork belly first (no need for oil if using a cast iron or non stick pot), wait for some fat to come out, THEN add the sugar to caramelize.

2. 2

   Pour coconut juice & coconut milk, let boil. Season with fish sauce or soy sauce. If your liquid is too sweet, add a cup of water.

3. 3

   When liquid is boiling, add star anise & peppercorn. Cook on medium heat for 1/2 hour (meat still has texture) or 1 hour (meat comfortably soft).

4. 4

   When stew is almost done add the eggs, remember to use your knife to cut shallow cracks along and around the egg so the broth can penetrate it!
