Braised pork belly with water hyacinth fruit

Phoenix eye fruit is a traditional Chinese medicine (named because it looks very similar to Phoenix eye). People in Guangdong also call it Ping Po. The fruit has the effects of harmonizing the stomach and digestion, detoxifying and killing insects. It is used for stomach upset, vomiting, abdominal pain due to worm infestation, hernia pain, and head ulcers in children. Water hyacinth fruit grows in the south and is one of the indispensable memories of Guangzhou locals' childhood. It usually matures around the Chinese Valentine's Day. It is a sacrifice for the seventh sister's birthday in Guangdong custom. Due to the decline of the custom, fewer and fewer courtyards are planting it now! Vegetable markets are even rarer. The fruit looks like chestnut when cooked, but has a soft and waxy fragrance. It is a good product for making soup, stewed duck and meat!
