Kong Bak Pau recipe

Time to reveal my very own secret Kong Bak Pau （扣肉包）recipe.
This recipe's passed down from my mum and my own improvisation
from other recipes.


Ingredients as follow:

Pork Belly(三层肉), let's say 600g
Cinnamon (桂皮 )
Star Anise (八角)
Clove (丁香)
Garlic
Oyster Sauce
Light Soy Sauce
Dark Soy Sauce
Coke. Yes, Coca Cola.

Methods:

1. Marinate the pork belly with Light and Dark Soy Sauce (about 3-4 teaspoons), Oyster Sauce (about 2 teaspoons) Cinnamon (2-3), Star Anise (15-20), Cloves (10-15), Garlic (1 bulb) for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight.

2. Preheat a pot with some 1 tablespoon of oil and saute few cloves of garlic to fragrant. Add in pork belly and all marinated sauce, stir fry to ensure even cooking.

3. Pour in Coke, sufficient to cover the meat. Turn up to high heat and bring the whole mixture to boil. When the sauce is nearly dried out, add in more Coke and boil again, this time in lesser amount. Repeat until the meat is soft. (You might want to add water after 2 rounds of Coke, so that it'll not be too sweet). Simmer for about 30mins.

4. Kong Bak is ready to be served with steamed bun and lettuce. yummy....
