1

Begin by cutting the pork into large cubes and marinating it in fish sauce, black pepper, and crushed garlic for about 30 minutes; this will infuse the meat with rich flavors.

2

While the pork marinates, prepare the shallots by thinly slicing them.

3

In a heavy-bottomed pot, heat some oil over medium heat and add the sliced shallots. Sauté until they are translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

4

Add the marinated pork to the pot. Stir-fry everything for about 5-7 minutes until the pork is browned and caramelized.

5

Pour in the coconut water, ensuring the pork is mostly submerged. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil.

6

Lower the heat, cover the pot, and let it simmer for about 60 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.

7

After 45 minutes, add the hard boiled eggs to the pot, allowing them to soak up the delicious sauce for the remaining time.

8

If the sauce becomes too thick, add a little water as needed to keep it saucy.

9

Once the cooking time is up, taste and adjust the seasoning if needed. Optionally, stir in brown sugar for a hint of sweetness.

Before serving, garnish with chopped green onions and coriander for a fresh finish!
