Braised Pork Feet

Braised Pork Feet

This tender and flavorful Braised Pork Feet recipe is a melt-in-your-mouth delight, combining rich spices and a savory-sweet glaze for an unforgettable dish. Succulent pork feet are first pressure-cooked with aromatic ginger, star anise, cinnamon, and bay leaves to lock in tenderness. They’re then caramelized with bubbling rock sugar for a glossy, golden-brown finish. Simmered in a robust blend of light and dark soy sauce, cooking wine, vinegar, and dried chili peppers, the pork absorbs deep umami flavors, while mushrooms add an earthy richness. The final reduction creates a thick, sticky sauce that coats each piece perfectly. Perfect for adventurous food lovers, this dish balances spice, sweetness, and tang for a truly satisfying meal. Serve it over rice to soak up every last drop of the irresistible glaze!

Remove the pork feet from the pressure cooker, rinse them with cold water, then heat oil in the pot and add rock sugar. Stir-fry until the sugar starts to bubble, then add the pork feet and continue stir-frying until they are browned.

3. Step 3

Add light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, cooking wine, sliced ginger, vinegar, dried chili peppers, mushrooms, and a suitable amount of salt. Make sure the liquid covers the pork feet completely.
