Hsiung's Wanluan Pork Knuckle King Introduction
In 1948, the founder of Hsiung Family Wanluan Pig Trotters, Hsiung Yen-er, originally became well-known in Wanluan Township for running Hakka rice noodle stores. One year, advised by a chef from Guangdong, he incorporated braised pig trotters into the menu. The pig trotters are selected from fresh front legs of the pig, slow-cooked for three hours, and served with a homemade dipping sauce. Over the years, braised pig trotters have become a famous delicacy throughout Taiwan. Hsiung Family Pig Trotters insists on using pig front legs that are meaty and firm, which are blanched and then stewed in a 40-year-old braising sauce for three hours until flavorful. This has led to the nationally renowned Hsiung Family Wanluan Pig Trotters. When served, they are accompanied by Hsiung Family's homemade dipping sauce, enhancing the dish's savoriness. Pig trotters are a common dish in Taiwan, often served with pig trotter noodles.
