Chinese Braised Pork Trotters
They had some pig feet on sale this week, so i bought some. Found a few recipes, so combined 3 to make it quick and easy (for pigs feet). If you have Chinese 5 spice (I am not a fan, so don't have any) you could sub a teaspoon of the 5 spice for the anise and cloves.
The whole house took on an aroma of Chinese food, it smelled so good. And the pig trotters, OMG were they wonderful.
This was not difficult, but you have to like pig trotters, the soft skin and tendons, the sticky collagen, yum.

Red braised pork Red braised pork
Red braised pork is a very common dish in China. Every region has their own flavor profile, and there is no definitive way of making this dish. The goal is to make the pork belly tender enough that you can cut it with chopsticks, and of course it needs to be red.This is the flavor I liked, and I use oyster sauce and fish sauce which is not traditionally in this dish.

Tender Stewed Pork Belly Chunks Tender Stewed Pork Belly Chunks
Once, while stopping by a local ramen shop, I was eating really delicious stewed pork chunks, and asked the store owner how to make them; they said that they boil it for hours to make the stewed pork chunks. I was wondering if I could make that restaurant's delicious stewed meat chunks in a short amount of time during the middle of my busy day, and came up with this.It is important to wipe the pressure cooker clean in Step 4. This is done in order to get rid of the scum that surfaced from boiling the meat, and to make the final result look and taste good. Recipe by XLR250R.
