Instructions
  1. Mix the marinade ingredients into a large bowl. Slice your pork into medium sized chunks and put it into the same bowl. Marinade for at least an hour to as long as overnight.
  2. Remove the bamboo shoots from the can and drain the juice. Rinse and cut them into quarters. Set aside for now. Boil some eggs for 10-15 minutes then let stand in how water for another 10 minutes. Peel.
  3. Place your thickest-bottomed-pot on the stove and put the heat to medium. Evenly coat the bottom of the pan with your cane or palm sugar. Allow it to melt and caramelize. Once it starts caramelizing, stir it frequently until the sugar is a dark brown. Don’t let it burn or there will be a burnt taste in the stew. You definitely don’t want that. When the sugar looks brown enough, add your pork into the pot and stir to distribute the sauce evenly on the pork. Allow the pork to cook in the sugar for at least five minutes.
  4. Add the bamboo shoots, fish sauce, chicken broth, and eggs. Add just enough water to cover everything. Now add in the star anise and stir the entire mixture well. Bring the entire pot to a boil then reduce to a simmer (medium low heat). Simmer for at least two 30 minutes. Skim any scum that rises. Taste it after it simmers for 30 minute and see if it’s salty enough for you. If not, add some more fish sauce or salt. I usually leave the lid uncover, and simmer for an hour or more until the meat is super tender and the broth is thicker.
