Ingredients for 6 servings:
1. 3 tablespoons brown sugar
2. 3 tablespoons white vinegar
3. 1 onion, peeled and cut into chunks
4. 2 garlic cloves, peeled and lightly crushed
5. 1 teaspoon peppercorn, lightly crushed
6. 2 slices orange peel (about 2 inches each)
7. 1 star anise
8. 1 1/2 kg pickled pork
Directions:
1. Mix the first 7 ingredients and a couple of cups of cold water together in a saucepan large enough to hold the piece of pork.
2. Add the pork and more water (enough to cover the pork); give it all a bit of a stir around to combine.
3. Bring to the boil, then cover and reduce to a simmer; cook for 2 hours (40 minutes per 500g of meat).
4. Allow to cool for about 2 hours in the stock.
Enjoy your meal!
