Once cooked immediately transfer eggs to a large mixing bowl filled with ice cold water to stop it cooking. Set aside.
  2. Cut the pork belly (I used butchers pork) slices into 1/2 inch thickness and transfer onto a plate. In a medium size pan, on medium heat. Let the pan heat up for a minute and add the pork belly slices. Tip: if pork belly does not have enough fat content add oil when searing meat). Cook and sear meat until it has browned.
