Braised Pork Feet with Yam

This rich and flavorful Pig Trotters with Yam recipe is a must-try for lovers of tender, fall-off-the-bone meat and hearty textures. The pig trotters are pressure-cooked to perfection with aromatic spices like star anise, cinnamon, and bay leaves, infusing deep umami notes. A splash of white vinegar tenderizes the meat while keeping the broth clear. The addition of soft, creamy yams balances the dish with a subtle sweetness. Finally, the trotters and yams are stir-fried in a savory-sweet sauce made with light soy sauce, chili oil, and scallions, adding a spicy kick and fresh finish. Perfect for a comforting meal, this dish combines slow-cooked tenderness with bold, aromatic flavors for an unforgettable dining experience.
