Pork knuckle is a favorite among many for its rich flavor and delightful texture, boasting a perfect combination of fat, crispy skin, and tender, chewy tendons. Why not switch up your home menu with this Lemongrass Chili Braised Pork Knuckle on a chilly day?
Ingredients:
- Pork Knuckle: 500g
- Lemongrass: 2 stalks
- Shallots, fresh chili peppers
- Fish sauce, sugar, oyster sauce, MSG, pepper, chili paste
- Coconut water
Instructions:
- Cut the pork into bite-sized pieces. Place in a pot, cover with water, add a pinch of salt, cook until tender, then remove, rinse thoroughly to remove impurities and bone fragments. Drain well.
- Finely chop 1 stalk of lemongrass and 1 shallot. Marinate this mixture with the pork, add 1 tablespoon of oyster sauce, 1 tablespoon of chili paste, 1 tablespoon of fish sauce, 2 tablespoons of sugar, and 1/2 tablespoon of MSG. Mix well and marinate for at least 1 hour.
- Cut the remaining shallot and lemongrass into small pieces. Heat oil in a pot, sauté the shallot and lemongrass until fragrant.
- Transfer the marinated pork into the pan and stir-fry. Once the meat firms up, add 2 chili peppers and enough water to barely cover the meat. Reduce heat to low, simmer until the pork is tender, easily pierced with a chopstick, and only about 1/3 of the liquid remains. Then, turn off the heat.
- Serve hot with rice, and pickled vegetables, for a complete and satisfying meal.
