kakuni for pat

I found a recipe for one of your favorite dishes. You can return the favor by making it for me!

Kakuni:

1.5 lbs Pork shoulder or butt (part with higher amount of fat)
4 boiled egg
1 chunk ginger - sliced
4 inches green onion
2 star anis
0.4 cup sake
2.5 tbsp brown sugar
2 tbsp soy sauce
2 tbsp mirin
vegetable oil a bit

1. Cut pork into 2 inch cubes. Cook pork in a pot until the outside is brown. This process seals the pork flavor inside the meat. Drain extra oil from the pot. Boil eggs 10-12 minutes in a separate pot, or until done.
2. Add water to the pot with pork until water just covers the pork. Also add ginger, green onion, and star anis. Bring to boil then lower the heat. Add sake and cook for 30-60 min until the pork is done.
3. Take out ginger, green onion, and star anis from the pot. Add brown sugar, soy sauce, and mirin in the pot and cook for 10 min. Add boiled egg and cook for another 5 min. or until all the flavors blend. You can also add bok choy when you add the egg. Serve with some mustard if you want.
voila!

This seems like a good place as any to store some recipes. Maybe I should store my rib recipe on my blog as well. I fear that it will get lost one of these bbq events... Let's try this one soon. We need to get some pork.
