Pork Leg Braised with Coke

Ingredient:

1 pork leg, saw cut into 1 1/2” slices 4-6 hard boiled eggs 1 liter coke or any carbonated cola drink 1 stick cinnamon 1-2 pcs. star anise 3-4 pcs. bay leaf 1 tsp. peppercorns 1 head garlic, crushed 1/4 cup cornstarch 1/4 cup vinegar 3/4 cup soy sauce salt and pepper cooking oil

Cooking procedure:

Place the pork leg in a big bowl and mix in the soy sauce and a dash of pepper, let marinate for 15 to 30 minutes. In a frying pan fry the pork leg in batches until seared on all sides. Transfer the seared pork leg in a sauce pan. Pour the coke over the pork leg, remaining marinade, 2 cups of water and all the other ingredients except the cornstarch and boiled eggs. Bring to a boil and simmer for 1 to 1 1/2 hours or until tender and the pork skins turn to jell like tenderness. Add more water as needed, add the hard boiled egg during the final 15 to 20 minutes of cooking. When most of the liquid has evaporated and reduced to about half, season with salt to taste. Thicken the sauce with the cornstarch diluted in 1/4 cup of water. Cook for another minute. Serve with rice.
