        Preparation
        
   
      - 
                                            1Cover pork with water and bring to a boil. Drain water, rinse pork and set aside. This removes the strong porcine taste and keeps the finished broth clear.
 - 
                                            2Pound/grind garlic, cilantro roots, and peppercorns into a semi-smooth paste. Fry paste in oil until golden brown.
 - 
                                            3Add pork, star anise, Maggi Seasoning, ginger, soy sauce, and cinnamon. Pour in just enough stock/water to just cover pork. Bring to a boil and lower to a simmer for 1-1/2 hours.
 - 
                                            4Stir in the eggs and simmer until pork is tender, approximately 30-60 minutes longer.
