1/4 teaspoon five-spice powder |
1 tablespoon oyster sauce |
1/2 teaspoon dark soy sauce |
1/2 teaspoon pepper |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
2 teaspoons sugar |
4 garlic heads |
1 star anise |
4 cm cinnamon sticks |
4 cloves |
1 tablespoon dark soy sauce |
2 tablespoons light soy sauce |
1 tablespoon sugar |
1 pinch salt |
1 cup water |
Directions:
1. Season pork with marinade overnight.
2. Heat heavy-based saucepan over med-low heat.
3. Put in marinated pork to brown. Add in whole garlic pods, cinnamon, anise and cloves. Pour in 1/2 amount of water and cook covered 5-8 minute.
