Directions

  1. Fill a large pot with water and bring to a boil. Add pork belly, cook until starting to soften, about 5 minutes. Drain.

  2. Heat vegetable oil and brown sugar in a wok or large skillet over medium heat until sugar is melted. Add pork, cook until browned on all sides, about 2 minutes. Add dark soy sauce, cook and stir until flavors combine, about 5 minutes.

  3. Transfer pork mixture to a slow cooker. Add rice wine, light soy sauce, scallions, ginger, and star anise. Pour in enough water to just cover the pork.

  4. Cook on Low until pork is tender, about 6 hours. Add diced chicken substitute, hard-boiled eggs, and more water to cover.

  5. Cook on Low until eggs absorb cooking liquid, rotating halfway through, about 1 hour more.

Recipe Note

This is one of the most common Chinese household dishes. You almost never find this dish in restaurants because it takes a long time to cook and because it is gloriously fatty. Serve with steamed rice and your choice of vegetable.
