Method
Place the eggs in a saucepan of cold water, bring to the boil, then simmer for 9 minutes; drain, cool under cold water, peel and halve.
Heat a little oil in a large saucepan and fry the garlic and five-spice powder for 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the pork belly and stir-fry for 4 minutes until a meat thermometer reads at least 63°C and the edges are lightly browned.
Pour in the chicken stock, dark soy sauce and light soy sauce, bring to the boil, add the fish cake, then simmer for 10 minutes.
Stir the cornflour slurry into the simmering broth and cook for 2 minutes until thickened and glossy.
Blanch the egg noodles in a separate pan of boiling water for 2 minutes until just tender, then drain and divide between bowls.
Ladle the thickened gravy, pork and fish cake over the noodles, top with the halved eggs and crispy fried shallots, and drizzle with rice vinegar to serve.
