KarlBraised Pork Belly & Sausage
I’ve been making a lot of slow cooked meals during this cold season. If you start this after lunch, you might be able to eat it by dinner time. There are a lot of variations on this dish but I used some things that I had on hand.

Cooking instructions
* Step 1
Boil 8 eggs and set aside. Chop onions and peel garlic (Leave Whole). Put some oil in a hot pot and start sautéing until translucent. Season the veggies with a bit of salt and black pepper. Add sausage and star anise.
* Step 2
Prepare 1.5 liters of stock and add it to the sausage and vegetable mixture. Add in fish and soy sauces. Bring to a boil and simmer (covered) for about 45 minutes. Stir occasionally.
* Step 3
By now, the sausage will have really started to flavor the broth. You can start preparing your pork belly.
* Step 4
Slice the pork belly in half lengthwise and then dice into large cubes. Add into pot. Stir.
* Step 5
Add in coconut milk and hot chili. Stir and continue simmering for an hour. If you want to speed things up, you can take the lid off to allow it to reduce. I chose to leave the lid on to let the sausage and pork belly become super tender.
* Step 6
Add in peeled boiled eggs. If at any point, you feel the liquid level is decreasing too much, add a touch of water to keep everything happy. Continue simmering uncovered while stirring occasionally.
* Step 7
Put sugar in a frying pan on medium heat along with molasses. Stir constantly until it caramelizes. Add to Pot. Simmer uncovered.
* Step 8
About an hour after adding that sugar and simmering uncovered, you’ll have something like this. By now, everything has been technically “done” hours ago. But by simmering slowly, the flavors are intensifying. I stopped here.
* Step 9
I ladled a bit over some rice and had some pickled celery with it. Took an eternity, but it was well worth it.
