Braised Pork with Eggs (Thit kho)

Ingredients (all can be found at an asian market):
Servings: 4

1 pack of pork belly (cut in cubes)
8 eggs (or more if you prefer)
Green onions
Fish sauce
Thick soy sauce
Black peppers
1 can of Coco Rico soda
1 teaspoon cooking oil
Minced garlic
Crushed red peppers
Cooked jasmine rice.

Start by hard boiling the eggs for 15 minutes. Peel and set aside. Start by heating up the cooking oil in a sauce pan. When its hot, add the garlic. Then add all of the pork belly and sear it on medium heat. Add a pinch of black peppers and crushed red peppers (depending on how spicy you want it) Add about a tablespoon of thick soy sauce and stir it around. Then add the whole can of Coco Rico Soda. Add the eggs. Add about 4 tablespoons of fish sauce. Cover the pan with a lid and leave it cracked a little. Put it on low heat and let it braise for about 30 minutes. Top it off with green onions. Serve over white jasmine rice.

This is a very fragrant dish so make sure the vent is on. In addition, adjust the seasonings based on how spicy or salty you want the dish to be.
