Recipe Ingredient
- 500g belly pork, cut into pieces
- 2 pieces firm soya bean cakes (taukwa), cut into cubes
- 5 hardboiled eggs
- 1-2 tbsp oil
- 2 tbsp sugar
- 3-4 cloves garlic (with skins on), lightly smashed
- For the sauce or gravy:
- 3 tbsp light soy sauce
- 1½-2 tbsp dark soy sauce
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1–1½ tbsp rock sugar cubes
- 250ml hot water
Instructions
- Deep-fry soya bean cakes in hot oil until lightly golden. Drain from oil and put aside.
- Heat up oil and sugar in a heavy-bottomed saucepan until sugar starts to turn a light golden brown. Put in the garlic and toss around for 30 seconds, then add sauce ingredients. Bring to a boil.
- Add in the pork and cook for 40-45 minutes over a low simmering boil or until pork is well done (add a little more water should the gravy thicken before the meat is tender).
- Add in the eggs and the fried soya bean cakes and leave to simmer for an extra 10-15 minutes. Dish out, shell the eggs and serve immediately.
