Braised Pork Tail in Shaoxing Wine

This tender and flavorful Braised Pork Tail recipe is a rich, aromatic dish that melts in your mouth! Slow-cooked in a fragrant blend of yellow wine, soy sauce, and spices like star anise and cinnamon, the pork tail becomes incredibly succulent. The dried hawthorn slices add a subtle tang, while ginger, garlic, and green onions create a deep, savory base. Blanching the pork tail first ensures a clean, pure flavor, and simmering it in a casserole allows the meat to absorb all the delicious spices. The result? A glossy, thick sauce clings to the fall-off-the-bone meat, making every bite irresistible. Perfect with steamed rice or noodles, this dish is a must-try for anyone who loves hearty, slow-cooked comfort food with a touch of sophistication.
