Recipes with braised pork trotters
This roasted pig's trotter is a real "regular" in my family! The trotters are braised until tender and fall off the bone, then roasted in the oven, completely eliminating the greasy feeling of boiled trotters. The skin is slightly charred and fragrant, while the inside remains sticky, chewy, and bouncy. Each bite is bursting with collagen, melting in your mouth—fragrant but not greasy, and increasingly addictive with every chew. Roasted pig's trotters are commonly found in barbecue restaurants, but making them at home is much easier. The ingredients are clean and hygienic, and you can adjust the seasoning to your liking. Add cumin, dry seasoning, and sesame seeds as you like—make as much as you want, giving you peace of mind. The taste is just as good as what you get outside!
Braised pork trotters with preserved plums is a classic Cantonese dish that makes your mouth water just looking at it! The pork trotters are stewed until they're incredibly tender and fall off the bone easily, with a slightly chewy skin that bursts with juice when you bite into them. The sweet and sour flavor of the preserved plums perfectly balances the richness of the meat. Each piece is coated in a thick sauce, savory with a refreshing aftertaste, making it not greasy at all. You'll want to suck every last bit off the bone! It's perfect with rice or as a snack. My family always fights over it; it's a true rice-eating machine, and you'll want to lick the sauce off your chopsticks afterward!
This dish of braised pork trotters with sand ginger is a classic Cantonese New Year's feast staple! The pork trotters are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside after being chilled in ice water—chewy, bouncy, and full of collagen. The sand ginger and shallots are stir-fried until fragrant, coating each piece of trotter in a savory sauce with the unique spiciness of sand ginger, without being overpowering. Crushed peanuts and cilantro add aroma and crunch, making it even more addictive with every chew—perfect with drinks or rice. Served during the New Year, it's both visually appealing and delicious, embodying the quintessential Cantonese flavor—a definite centerpiece for the New Year's feast, so delicious you'll lick your fingers!
