Braised Pork Trotters
This succulent **Braised Pork Feet** recipe delivers melt-in-your-mouth tenderness with a rich, caramelized glaze. The dish starts with blanched pork feet for a clean, tender texture, then coated in a luscious caramel made from rock sugar for deep, sweet notes. Aromatic spices and **Shaoxing wine** (or cooking wine) infuse bold flavors, while **sauce soy sauce** and **dark soy sauce** create a savory, glossy finish. Pressure-cooked to perfection, the pork feet become incredibly soft, absorbing every layer of the fragrant sauce. Perfect as a hearty main or indulgent comfort food, this dish stands out with its balance of sweetness, umami, and spice. Serve hot for an unforgettable, fall-off-the-bone experience!
