Steps

1

Boil the pork hock briefly with a little wine to remove impurities and odor. Rinse thoroughly with water.
2

Prepare the ingredients as shown in the picture. Heat a pan with cooking oil, then sauté the green onions, ginger, and garlic until fragrant. Add the chili peppers, star anise, and peppercorns, and continue to sauté until aromatic. Transfer to a separate plate.
3

Add a little cooking oil to the pan, then add the rock sugar and cook until it turns caramel-colored. Add the pork hock and stir until evenly coated.
4

Next, add soy sauce and oyster sauce, stirring until the color is even. Add hot water to cover the pork hock. Once it boils, cover with a lid and simmer on low heat.
5

Simmer until the liquid is almost reduced. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Remember to leave some sauce for dipping while eating, it's delicious 😛
