Tiger-Skin Braised Pork Knuckle
The finished dish is glossy and red, the skin shows an enticing tiger-skin pattern, and the meat is tender and flavorful—rich but not greasy, with soft lean meat. It's a traditional Chinese banquet showpiece. Pork knuckle is rich in collagen and quality protein, which become easier to absorb after long braising and are somewhat nourishing for skin and joints. The process includes scorching the skin, deep-frying, making caramel color and pressure-braising, which is quite challenging for beginners; it's best attempted with some cooking experience. From prep to table, expect about 2.5 hours in total.
