Braised Pork Trotter


I used this recipe to cook my lor bak.

Super easy and yummy! and it's taste just so authentic. Similar to those that i could find it in hawker center. The only different is less oily. Yo~

This is a one hearty meat dish that could definitely complete your meal .

Unfolding of recipe:

1 pork trotter (cut into pieces) (for me i used pork loin instead of pork trotter, that why i called it lor bak)
5 slices young ginger
8 cloves garlic
1 star aniseed
1 tbsp shaoxing wine

Seasoning
1 litre water
1/2 tsp salt
2 tsps sesame oil
2 tsps light soy sauce
2 tsps sugar
1 tbsps dark soy sauce
1 tbsps oyster sauce
pinch of pepper

Method
1. Fry ginger and star aniseed with 2 tbsps of oil.
2. Add pork trotter. Stir fry for awhile. Add shaoxing wine. Stir in seasoning and garlic. Bring to the boil and turn to low heat. Simmer for 1 1/2 hrs. Serve.

See it for yourself, isn't this recipe so simple.
Not to mentioned with e add bonus... delicious.

Served it together with small chilli padi, oooh one word "BEST!"


cooked it with just meat, or throw in tou fu and hard boiled eggs.




You could also throw in 1 cinnamon stick to enhance e favour.
