Braised Pork Leg

 Pork leg (I bought about 1.3kg worth)

10 cloves of garlic
2 thumb-size ginger

Spices
From top (clockwise):
* Cloves
* Cinnamon sticks
* Star anise
* Coriander seeds
* (middle) Cardamom

(thanks to Jane for helping me identify the spices!)

* Bathe the pork leg in boiling water. Discard water.

* Pan-fry pork leg in a non-stick pan. (Don't need to add oil).

* Add water and dark soy sauce.

* Bring to boil.

* Transfer pork leg mixture to a slow-cooker.

* Add in spices, garlic and ginger.

* Add pepper and about 2 tbsp of sugar.

~OPTIONAL~
You may wish to add in hard-boiled eggs and braise it together with the pork leg.
