Delicious Pork Knuckle King Introduction
Kekou Pig's Feet, a beloved restaurant in the Xindian Dapinglin food scene for over 20 years, captivates discerning diners with its boss Wan's secret braising technique for pig's feet. The sight of several old braising pots at the entrance, with each pot set to a specific temperature and displaying an appealing array of colors, along with the enticing aroma, makes it hard to resist the allure of this delicious fare. The signature pig's feet embody Wan's decades of experience, using selected cuts from the mid-section and trotters of live pigs sourced from the market every day. The preparation begins with blanching to remove any odors before chilling the meat to ensure a firm texture. Then, on the day of cooking, the ingredients are boiled, de-haired, and combined with scallions and garlic, followed by high-temperature braising for seven to eight hours before being simmered on low heat. Wan mentions that just before serving the customers, the dish is braised again over high heat and then simmered; this meticulous process is repeated multiple times to achieve a melt-in-your-mouth, tender, flavorful, and rich dish that is not greasy. In addition to the delectable pig's feet, patrons often find themselves enjoying multiple bowls of the signature braised pork rice that accompanies the meal.
