Beer Braised Pork Trotters

Beer Braised Pork Trotters

Overview

I have cooked dishes using beer as a seasoning before, but I have never paired beer with pig trotters, let alone added five-spice powder to the beer. This time I tried it. While using beer, I also added five-spice powder, and the quality of the dishes improved a lot. Beer braised pig's trotters is a favorite among the family.
