Braised Pork Knuckle

Overview

This [Braised Pork Knuckle] dish is maroon in color, soft and glutinous in texture, and rich in aroma. Pickles and braised vegetables not only have different names, but also have different cooking methods. Generally, to make pickles, the main ingredients should be marinated in advance, then cooked in miso soup to drain the sauce without leaving any old soup. When marinating dishes, the main ingredients do not need to be marinated. Instead, after removing the fishy smell from the main ingredients, put them directly into the marinade, bring to a boil over high heat, simmer over low heat until they are cooked thoroughly, then soak in the marinade for a period of time, and store the marinade as an old soup for repeated use.
