- 1
In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat vegetable oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and chopped shallots and sautรฉ until fragrant, about 2-3 minutes.
- 2
Add the pork belly pieces and cook until lightly browned on all sides. Stir in the turmeric powder and cook for another minute.
- 3
Add the chopped fermented soybeans to the pot and stir well to combine with the pork and aromatics. Cook for about 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
- 4
Pour in the water or chicken broth. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for at least 1 hour, or until the pork is tender. Skim off any impurities that rise to the surface.
- 5
Add the chunks of Chinese eggplant, long beans, winter melon, and taro root to the pot. Stir gently to distribute them in the stew.
- 6
Continue to simmer, covered, for another 20-30 minutes, or until all the vegetables are tender but not mushy. The taro and winter melon should start to break down slightly, thickening the stew.

Season the stew with fish sauce, salt, and sugar to taste. Adjust seasonings as needed.

Ladle the Samlor Kakyi into serving bowls. Garnish generously with fresh chopped cilantro and mint leaves before serving.
