Braised Pig's Trotters and Tendons
Origin: Nanjing, Jiangsu, China
Source: Yuan Mei 袁枚, 1792
Ingredients
- pig's trotters (feet)
- pig's tendons
- chicken stock (高湯)
- pig's leg (good quality)
Instructions
- Select good pig's trotters and carefully remove the large bones. Prepare pig's tendons, which have a flavor similar to the trotters and pair well together. If you have particularly good pig's leg, this too may be included for variety.
- Gently braise all components together in clear chicken stock (高湯) until tender. The tendons and trotters should cook together harmoniously.
