Dark sauce pork with "mu er"

My first attempt. It definitely tastes way much better than it looks. This is a dish that my mother cooks every CNY. Common ingredients include meat (pork, chicken or duck), hard-boiled eggs, bean curds, dried mushrooms, "mu er", "jin zhen", star anis, cloves and cinnamon sticks.

Mine doesn't contain beancurd and mushrooms, but lots of garlic.
