Cooking tips

  • Sear the pork jowl until the surface is browned before adding it to the braising liquid.
  • After cooking for 1 hour, add the additional water, boiled eggs, and five-spice powder, then simmer for another 30 minutes in that order.
  • Strain the solids from the sauce before adding the starch slurry to adjust the consistency.
  • Blanch the bok choy in salted water for only 15 seconds.

Recommended for
