  • Step 1
    In a Dutch oven over low heat, add the sugar, stir, and brown until caramelized, about 5 minutes.
  • Step 2
    Add the pork belly cubes and brown on all sides. Add the shallot and garlic and cook 3 minutes.
  • Step 3
    Pour in the coconut soda and fish sauce. Add water if the pork isn't completely covered. Place a lid on the Dutch oven and simmer for an hour.
  • Step 4
    Remove the lid and add the boiled eggs. Leave the cover off the Dutch oven and roll the eggs around for about 15 more minutes to reduce the sauce.
