1. Blanch the meat in boiling water for 2 minutes, then rinse and drain — this gives a clearer sauce. ⏱ Timer: 2 min
2. In a heavy-bottomed pot, fry the shallots in the oil for 5 minutes, then add the garlic, ginger and star anise, and fry for a further 1 minute. ⏱ Timer: 5 min
3. Add the meat and fry over medium-high heat for 5 minutes, until coloured on all sides. ⏱ Timer: 5 min
4. Add both soy sauces, the nutmeg and the water, bring to the boil, then braise covered over low heat for 1 hour, until the meat is falling apart. ⏱ Timer: 1 h
5. Cook uncovered for a further 10 minutes, until the sauce becomes a thick, glossy glaze. Season with the vinegar, white pepper and chilli. ⏱ Timer: 10 min
6. Serve with rice.

Tips

• Even better the next day, once the meat has soaked up the sauce.
• Hard-boiled, peeled eggs can also be braised with the meat in the last 20 minutes.
