Spicy Braised Pork Knuckles

Overview

The weather is getting colder and I like to eat meat more and more. I eat more meat recently than in summer. I always feel hungry after a while, and I have to look for snacks at night. . . I hope I won’t gain a few more kilograms after this winter. . I like to eat braised pork with slightly spicy flavor. It is not only beautiful in color but also goes well with rice. As for the pork trotters, you can use pork belly instead. The last few times I had them, I had ginger and scallion pork trotters. Today I have to change the texture and make braised pork. The texture is the same as ordinary Taiwanese braised pork, but more dried chili peppers are added to enhance the flavor. Adding flower mushrooms and fried tofu is the cooking method in my hometown. You can do it without adding it, but it will feel like it is just meat without other ingredients. The mushrooms and fried tofu are very delicious and have a strong aroma when you take a bite.
