Wash the pork belly then slice, try and get them about 1.5cm thick (too thin and they will lose shape when you cook). Put the slice into a food bag and add 2 Tbsp of Sweet Bean Paste, massage the paste in to the meat and leave to marinate for 2 hours.

Add the meat to a pan along with the Cassia Bark, Star Anise, Green Onions, Ginger, Sugar and Chilli if you are using it. Also add in the Rice Wine and Soy Sauce. Next add the water, make sure it covers the meat completely.
-
Turn on a hight heat and bring it to the boil. Next turn it into a low heat and remove the scum on the surface (if you want your boil egg to cook longer, add them now), put the lid on and simmer for around 30 minutes.
Add the boiled eggs, replace the lid and allow it to simmer for another 30 to 90 minutes. (Depending how soft you want the meat)
Enjoy your meal.
