Claypot pork belly

My mil loves to use claypot to braise and on one of the days, she cooked this simple yet tasty claypot pork belly with hard-boiled egg. No measurement for this recipe, it is based on your preference and taste. If you like it salty, then add more dark soy sauce or salt. If you like the sweeter version, then substitute the dark soy sauce with the sweet soy sauce.
