2-3 pieces garlic, minced
2 heads shallots, minced
2 lbs. pork feet or spareribs
10-12 hard boiled eggs, shelled
1/2 cup sugar
lime leaves
oyster sauce and fish sauce
salt and pepper, msg
Sauté garlic and shallots in a wok or pot. Add pork and lime leaves and sauté for a couple minutes. Season with a dash of oyster sauce, fish sauce, salt, msg and black peppers.
Caramelize sugar in a small pot, add water when the sugar is golden brown. The sugar will crystallize. Once the crystallize sugar is fully dissolved into the water, add to the large pot.
Add the shelled hard boiled eggs and let simmer until the eggs pick up the golden color of the caramelized sugar water. Season with more fish sauce or sugar if need. Serve with Jasmine rice.
Time Saving Variation: Skip the sautéing. Caramelize the sugar, add water. Bring to a boil, add meat, boiled eggs and seasoning. Simmer until eggs pick up the golden brown color.

Thanks Sippy for this spot on recipe! This is pretty much similar to my Laotian Mom's recipe. We add sliced ginger and a tsp of five spice powder and always cook using the time saving method. I prefer boneless pork shoulder meat instead of pork feet.
♥ Loved it.
