Humba is a traditional braised pork recipe that has a savory-sweet flavor reminiscent of the American meatloaf. The presentation is similar though the braised pork is arguably the more flavorful.

Cooking Instructions:

- Hard boil eggs then set aside

- Combine pork belly, soy sauce, water, sugar, and black pepper in a pot and boil.
- Boil contents until it reduces and begins sizzling (apx 45 mins)
- Slice meat like a loaf of bread then place on a tray
- Drizzle the remaining contents of the pot over the loaf
