Wendell's Five Spice Pork Belly

Wendell made this the other day.  He got the recipe from Manila Spoon and can be found here. 

To be honest, I haven't tried it yet, but must be good 'cause the guys ate um up. 

Ingredients

2 Tablespoons Olive Oil
1 Tablespoon Brown Sugar
1 Kilo / 2.2 Lbs Pork Belly, sliced
5 Tablespoons, Dark Soy Sauce*
2 teaspoons, Five Spice Powder
1 inch-ginger (roughly thumb-size), peeled then thinly sliced (like matchsticks) or julienned
2 cups water
1 teaspoon Salt or to taste

*Use a wheat-free brand if you wish to have a gluten-free version.

Procedure

Heat the oil in the wok. Add the brown sugar. Cook until the sugar caramelizes and turns light brown. Add the pork slices. Stir the pork in the sauce until they are well coated.

Pour in the soy sauce and water. Stir in the salt and Five-spice powder. Add the ginger slices.  Bring to a boil. Cover and then simmer gently over low heat for about 45 minutes or until the meat is fully tender.
