Follow The Directions

01

Step

In a heavy-bottomed stockpot, combine the pig's feet, vinegar, water, soy sauce, diced onion, crushed garlic, crushed peppercorns, sugar, bay leaves, and a generous pinch of sea salt. (5 minutes)

02

Step

Bring the mixture to a rolling boil over high heat, allowing it to boil vigorously for 2-3 minutes, ensuring the flavors begin to meld together. (3 minutes)

03

Step

Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and gently simmer, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking, until the pig's feet are incredibly tender and the meat effortlessly falls away from the bones. The liquid should reduce and thicken into a luscious sauce, approximately 1 hour. (1 hour)

04

Step

Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt or a splash of vinegar if needed to achieve the perfect balance of savory and tangy notes. (2 minutes)

05

Step

Serve hot, ladling the tender pig's feet and the rich, flavorful sauce generously over steamed rice. Garnish with fresh cilantro, if desired.

For a deeper, richer flavor, consider browning the pig's feet in a little oil before adding the other ingredients.
If you prefer a sweeter paksiw, add a tablespoon of brown sugar or a drizzle of honey along with the white sugar.
Adjust the amount of vinegar and soy sauce to your personal preference. Some may prefer a more pronounced tang, while others may prefer a more savory flavor.
Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated gently on the stovetop or in the microwave.

    Simmering the pata for longer definitely made a difference in tenderness.

    The vinegar smell was a bit strong at first, but the end result was worth it.
