1/2 ts Ground cinnamon

In a 4-5 quart pan on high heat, combine meat, garlic, anise seed, gorund cinnamon, ground cloves, soy sauce, and 1 quart water. Bring to a boil; cover and simmer until meat is very tender when pierced, about 1 1/2 hours. Boil, uncovered, on high heat until sizzling, about 30 minutes; stir often. Drain off fat.

With 2 forks, shred meat; put into a 9x13" pan. Bake in a 400'F. oven until pork begins to crisp, 15-20 minutes. Spoon over rice; add onion, cilantro, and hoisin to taste.
