My version of pata tim

This is Friday evening, i just came from work, before i went home, i passed by the local store to buy some of the things i need for my planned meals this Saturday.  As i am at work most of the time during the weekdays, it is only on Saturdays and Sundays that i really has the time to cook.  Well, of course i washed, sliced and seasoned the meats and fish(es) i will use for my planned meals.  Breakfast should come easy, scrambled eggs, pancakes with maple syrup and orange juice will be a good starter for a day.  I don't think there is a need to go into the details of preparing scrambled eggs and pancakes so we move for cooking the lunch.  I have started to clean pork and prepare the ingredients.   Here is how to cook pata tim.

1 pork pata (front leg) about 1.5 kilo                Procedure:
8 pcs shitake mushrooms                              1.  Combine all ingredients including pata in a stockpan, 
3/4 cup soy sauce                                               cover and cook to high heat until mixture comes to boil
2 pcs star anise                                             2.  Lower heat to simmering and continue cooking until pork     
2 pcs laurel leaves                                             is  tender.  Add water if needed
2 tbspoon sherry or rice wine                           3.  Add seasoning according to taste
1 bunch of spring onion
enough water to cover the pork pata
I am sure we will have a happy lunch time with this delicious pata tim
