- Gently place the Large eggs in a pot and just cover with water. Bring to a gentle simmer over medium-low heat and cook till soft boiled, about 5 min (about 2 min for quail Large eggs). Rinse under cool water and allow to cold completely. Carefully shell the Large eggs, being careful to keep the Large eggs intact.
- Make a caramel by combining the sugar and 1/4 c. water in a heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat. When the sugar is melted and turns a rich gold, about 8 min, remove the pot from the heat and stir in the coconut juice and fish sauce (or possibly 3 c. water and the soy sauce). Reduce the heat to low and stir till the sauce is completely smooth.
- Add in the pork shanks, turning them to coat proportionately on all sides. Add in the scallions, ginger, garlic, chilies, star anise, and five-spice pwdr and simmer, covered, turning the shanks occasionally, till the meat is fork tender, about 4 hrs.
- With a ladle, skim off the fat and add in the Large eggs. Continue simmering, ladling sauce over the Large eggs occasionally, till the Large eggs turn golden brown and cook through, about 5 min.
- This recipe yields 4 to 6 servings.
