Pork Belly with Boiled Eggs in Oyster Sauce

Meat and oyster sauce is a classic combination that we can always turn to when we want something satisfying and savory. Mixing in some more flavors like that of lime, brown sugar, and Worcestershire sauce, however, can bring your meal from good to great. And that is what we try to achieve with this Pork Belly with Boiled Eggs in Oyster Sauce recipe. We definitely do not hold back in the usage of seasonings to bring life to our slices of pork belly.

But a quick heads up that this may take a bit of time to make since we have to let the mixture with our pork simmer for a minimum of 1 hour. But we come out of it with the juiciest and smoothest pork that is enriched with flavor. 

That’s enough talking about our oyster sauce dish though; let’s try making it! Here are the steps to this Pork Belly with Boiled Eggs in Oyster Sauce recipe.

How to Cook Pork Belly with Boiled Eggs in Oyster Sauce

1. Sautéing onion and garlic

Get your 4 tablespoons of cooking oil ready by putting these in a pan. Apply heat. You can add 1 of the onions you’ve sliced, and 1 head of garlic you’ve crushed and chopped once the oil gets hot. Sauté these.

2. Cooking the pork

Toss in 3 lbs. of pork belly you’ve sliced into serving pieces. Just keep sautéing until the meat gets nice and brown, which would take up to 5 minutes.

3. Seasoning the mixture

Let’s now pour 3 tablespoons of soy sauce, 2 tablespoons of oyster sauce, and 2 tablespoons of Worcestershire sauce. Now stir the mixture. Cook all of this up for 1 minute before putting 4 cups of water in the pan. You can now cover the pan, and just wait for the liquid to boil. Then integrate 1 Knorr Pork Cube, and proceed to cover the pan. This involves quite a bit of waiting, as we will let the mixture simmer for 60 to 80 minutes.

4. Adding sugar and lime

Once the time is up, you can place 1 tablespoon of brown sugar inside. Squeeze ½ lime into the mix. Then continue cooking until the sauce is close to having evaporated entirely. 

5. Incorporating the last few ingredients

Afterwards, you should add the 2 onions you’ve sliced, and then stir what’s in the pan. Cook this all up until the onion gets soft. Sprinkle in as much ground black pepper as you would like. Then take your 25 boiled and peeled quail eggs, and place them in the pot. Toss these into the mixture, but make sure to be careful with this, as we do not want to break the eggs. Continue cooking for 1 more minute, and then you’re done!

Simply transfer everything to a serving plate. Have lots of rice ready because this scrumptious dish may leave you wanting more.
