Instructions
 

  • Cut the pork belly into bite-sized pieces, keeping the skin intact for added texture.
  • In a bowl, mix together soy sauce, dark soy sauce, and brown sugar until the sugar dissolves.
  • Heat the vegetable oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add the minced garlic, ginger, star anise, and cinnamon sticks. Saute for a minute until fragrant.
  • Add the pork belly to the pot and brown it on all sides for about 5 minutes.
  • Pour in the soy sauce mixture and water. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and cover the pot. Let it simmer for about 1.5 to 2 hours until the pork is tender and the flavors have melded together.
  • After simmering, remove the pork belly from the pot and set it aside. Turn up the heat to medium-high and reduce the sauce until it thickens slightly.
  • Return the pork belly to the pot and coat it with the thickened sauce.
  • Serve the braised pork over steamed rice, garnished with chopped green onions.
