👨🍳 Инструкции
- 1
Prepare the pork knuckles: Rinse the pork knuckles. Remove any visible hairs with tweezers or by singeing with a blowtorch. Blanch the pork knuckles in boiling water with 2 slices of ginger, 1 stalk of green onion, and 2 tbsp Shaoxing wine for about 5-7 minutes to remove impurities and odor. Drain and rinse under cold water.

Sear the pork knuckles: Heat 2 tbsp of oil in a wok or heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat. Add the blanched pork knuckles and sear them on all sides until golden brown. This step helps to render some fat and add flavor. Remove the pork knuckles and set aside.

Sauté aromatics: In the same pot, add the chopped ginger, garlic, and shallot. Sauté over medium heat until fragrant. If using dried chilies, add them now and sauté briefly.

Braise the pork knuckles: Add the seared pork knuckles back to the pot. Pour in the water, light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, remaining Shaoxing wine, and add the rock sugar, star anise, cinnamon stick, and bay leaves. Ensure the liquid covers the pork knuckles. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for at least 2 hours, or until the pork is very tender.

Serve: Remove the pork knuckles from the braising liquid. You can serve them whole or sliced. Spoon some of the braising liquid over the top. Garnish with chopped green onions.
