Tips:
1. The star anise can be used or not.
2. Some stores outside will add angelica, which has a special aroma.
3. It is best to add enough soup at one time. Adding soup midway will affect the milky whiteness of the soup.
4. The taste of the stewed pork belly at this time is just right. I like to extend the time if it is soft and rotten.
5. Some methods are to chop the chicken into pieces and then blanch the pork belly, but if the whole piece is stuffed in, the chicken is more tender and not fired.
6. If you like dipping sauce, you can make some sauce yourself: minced ginger, chopped green onions, chopped chili, and add soy sauce.
