'Tau Yew Bak' aka Braised Pork with Mushroom

I have been tight in schedule lately and haven't had the time to write anything. Pardon my disappearance! This dish is a hit in my household and I hope some of you would enjoy cooking and savouring it. All I could say: Yummmy!
(Using the same sauce, I have braised some fried beancurd and hard-boiled eggs separately) 

Melt-in-the-mouth pork slices and mushrooms

Another good combination


Ingredients (It's all about estimation. ;))

500g of pork slices (cut into desired size)
15 dried mushrooms (soaked, cleaned and water+stems discarded)
2 bulbs of garlic
A handful of star anise
100 ml of soya sauce
3 tbsps of dark soya sauce
2 tbsps of salt
A handful of fried beancurd
A few hard-boiled eggs
Water (enough to slightly cover the meat and mushrooms)

Method
  1. Boil up garlic, star anise, salt, soya sauce and mushrooms in some water for about 30 mins.
  2. Add in pork slices and hard-boiled eggs.
  3. Add in dark soya sauce and adjust according to taste.
  4. Continue to boil for another 20 mins.
  5. Scoop out some sauce into another pot and boil the fried beancurd for about 5 mins.
  6. Serve with rice.
