Nyonya Style Pork Stew

My late grandma used to make this dish, we called this "Babi Kecap"and after I wacthed S'porean series "Little Nyonya" there's one dish called Babi Pongteh, similar to this dish, I guess is the other version of Indonesian Nyonya dishes since my grandma is Peranakan desendance , I'd say the ingredients is more simple than babi pongteh, but taste as good only different version.

Ingredients:
250gr Pork shoulder,(with fat and skin), cut into cubes
5pcs shallot, finely chopped
5pcs garlic, finelt chopped
6 tbsp sweet soya sauce(kecap manis), if u like sweet, u can add more of kecap manis
1 seed thai tamarind
5cup water
½ tsp salt
½ tsp pepper
Side dishes:
½ block firm tofu, cut into square
2pcs boiled egg
2pc dried shiitake mushroom, soaked in the hot water for 30 min


Directions:

Heat 2 tbsp of cooking oil, add the shallot and garlic until fragrant then add the pork, cook until the color changed(or until the water come out from the pork), then add kecap manis, tamarind, pepper, then add the boiled egg, mushroom and tofu, stir through then add water, let it boiled turn down the heat then simmer it for about 2H until the pork softened, and leave the broth for about 1cup.(It’s even taste better when you leave it overnight)
