  • Add the coconut juice and enough chicken stock (or water) and cover the pork.
  • Bring it to a boil and skim off the foam that rises while it cooks
  • Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer, Covered, for about 1 1/2 hours.
  • Check occassionally, add more stock or water if it reduces too much.

    An excellent post, Mrs_lau :) I enjoy a recipe of pork & caramel, a stir-fry with star anise for a bit of a kick; this reminds me of that dish (Spicy Caramel Pork), and I love eggs -- so this is a winner in my books.
    Thanks for adding your personal notes too; I probably would quarter the eggs as well :)

    I have this book marked. My Dad had a recipe with egg and veal. Yours is truly unique, I love coconut and the sweet notes in this recipe and it is absolutely worth a try.
