Ginger Sherry Braised Pork Trotters

Labels: { }

These pork trotters are really succulent, and truly a delicious combination of sweet, sour, and piquant flavours. Well, it's not everyone's cup of tea as they are high in cholesterol, but I do enjoy them once in a while, you know, in moderation.

  • 1 kg Pork trotters, cut into smaller pieces
  • 1 large chunk Ginger root, peeled and shredded
  • 5 Dried chillies
  • 6 clove Garlic, smashed
  • 1/2 tsp Szechuan peppercorns©angiesrecipes
  • 80 ml Rice vinegar
  • 12 slices Dried Chinese haw
  1. Blanch the pork trotters in a pot of boiling water. Remove and rinse with cold water. Drain and place them in the inner pot of your electric pressure cooker.
  2. Add in shredded ginger, dried chillies, smashed garlic cloves, peppercorns, rice Vinegar, dried haws, Maggi, sugar, caramel colour if used, oyster sauce, chopped spring onion and sherry. Pour in the chicken stock to cover the trotters.
  3. Cover and secure with the lid. Plug in the pressure cooker and turn the knob to pork cooking cycle. Once it is done and cools down, then open the lid and transfer the pork trotters into a baking dish. Strain the soup into the baking dish. Bake at 180C/350F for 15 minutes. Sprinkle the top with some spring onion and garnish with a tomato rose if desired.

Exactly what part of the pig includes the trotters? It sounds like it's an area centered around the legs or feet. :) The braising sauce sounds like a winner though.

This must be so wonderfully sweet. I've never cooked with haw before - love haw wafers - devoured them as a kid, but never cooked with them!

[Reply]
MaryMoh 14/9/10 23:21

I like this. Really delicious with rice. Never mind about the cholesterol. My Chinese Dr told me that we must eat these every now and then cos the trotters are full of ligaments too which is important to our joints. Give me every excuse to eat more :D

I have not eaten these in a while but they can be quite tasty. Some use black vinegar instead of rice vinegar.

The Duo Dishes, Reeni: Pork trotters are, as you might have imagined, the feet of a pig. They are typically sold with part of the shank attached, although it is also possible to find pig's feet sold alone.

I think with the taste of Ginger it would be a spicy recipe.I think that for this recipe it needs more preparation and it will take some time to cook it.

[Reply]
whatsfordinneracrossstatelines 15/9/10 16:45

I'm not quite sure if I've ever seen trotters in my market, I love the flavors in this dish, I wonder how if would be using another cut of pork?

I adore pigs trotters. They are very poplular over here, especially by me, but i do not eat them enough. The flavours just look grogeous. I would normally make them completely different to this, but i think i may have to change my ways.... I wish i had some right now. YUMMY!

I should not be hungry for pig trotters at 9:30 in the morning, but now I officially am. They are one of those proteins that I have yet to make, but one that is on the to do list. Your recipe is one of the most fantastic I have seen.

FOODESSA 17/9/10 00:29

I was just told the other month that my blood analysis showed a line of cholesterol! I was in total shock because I'm so incredibly careful. Now, I know that it's related to my thyroid issue. Hence, a few delicious trotters could be sent my way after all...in moderation of course ;o)

Ciao for now,
Claudia

Hey Angie, I don't eat pork but this does look and sound really delicious. I don't think I know what is a trotter though? Is that a particular cut of meat, etc.?

denise @ quickies on the dinner table 20/9/10 03:13

Wow! You've really stirred up memories for me. My grandma used to cook pig's trotters often when I was a child, but I haven't cooked any in years! I've never used haw slices when cooking pork though - very inventive and definitely something for me to think about! Thanks for the inspiration :)

SEO Preston 22/1/11 14:17

Wow! I'd guess the trotter of a pig is a fairly under-utilised part of the animal, although this recipe certainly tempts me to go out and buy some!
