Bring a medium pot of water to a boil, and blanch the chopped pork belly for 2 minutes. Drain and set aside. Heat the oil in a wok over low heat, and add the pork, onions and spices. Turn up the heat to medium high and stir-fry for a minute. Add the mushrooms and stir-fry for another couple minutes. Add shaoxing wine, light soy sauce, dark soy sauce,rock sugar and water. Stir and bring the mixture to a boil. Add peeled hard-boiled eggs and turn the heat to the lowest setting. Simmer for 1 ½ hours, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking. At this point the meat should fall-apart tender. To finish the dish, turn up the heat to medium high to thicken the sauce, stirring occasionally. This process should take about 5-minutes. The sauce should be thick enough to coat a spoon, but there should still be plenty of it left. Serve over steamed white rice. |
